(N.C.) Eb Ab
The poisoned rose
Eb G#That you gave to me
Eb CIt left me half alive
And half in ecstasy
Eb7But if half of your love
G#7 Adim7Is all I can win
Give me just a fraction
F7 Bb Eb G#7 EbBut no more medicine
Bb Bb+ Eb G#
The poisoned rose
Eb G#On a Valentine card
That you take straight to the heart
F Bb B9 Bb EbThat you call my junkyard
Eb7But if all I can do
is save pieces of you
EbThe piece of your mind
Eb7 G#7The piece of your heart
Didn't tear me apart
F7Like the poisoned rose
Gm7 Bb7 G#I received from you
C#9+11
I don't know
How we came to grow
Bb Eb F7Into this very sad affair
Everytime we do the decent thing
Somebody spikes the drink
And a single becomes a pair
(N.C.) Eb Bb7
The poisoned rose
Eb7 G#7That you wear at your best
Eb C7That I keep pressed between the white sheets
Where you lie half undressed
I threw away my shirt and shoes
Eb7 G#7You looked and I dived in
It's just you and me now
Eb'Cause I threw away the gin
I threw away your alibis
And all your worn-out clothes
I threw myself upon the floor
Adim7But I couldn't throw away
This poisoned rose
Eb G#This poisoned rose
(N.C.) Eb
This poisoned rose
