(N.C.) D# G#The poisoned rose
D# G#That you gave to me
D# CIt left me half alive
F A# B9 A# D#And half in ecstasy
D#7But if half of your love
G#7 Adim7Is all I can win
D# C7Give me just a fraction
F7 A# D# G#7 D#But no more medicine
A# A#+ D# G#The poisoned rose
D# G#On a Valentine card
D# CThat you take straight to the heart
F A# B9 A# D#That you call my junkyard
D#7But if all I can do
G#7 F7is save pieces of you
D#The piece of your mind
D#7 G#7The piece of your heart
Adim7Didn't tear me apart
F7Like the poisoned rose
Gm7 A#7 G#I received from you
C#9+11
I don't know
D#Bow we came to grow
A# D# F7Into this very sad affair
Everytime we do the decent thing
B9 A#9Somebody spikes the drink
And a single becomes a pair
(N.C.) D# A#7The poisoned rose
D#7 G#7That you wear at your best
D# C7That I keep pressed between the white sheets
F7 A# B9 A# D#Where you lie half undressed
I threw away my shirt and shoes
D#7 G#7You looked and I dived in
F7It's just you and me now
D#'Cause I threw away the gin
I threw away your alibis
D#7 G#7And all your worn-out clothes
I threw myself upon the floor
Adim7But I couldn't throw away
D# G#This poisoned rose
D# G#This poisoned rose
(N.C.) D#
This poisoned rose
