(N.C.) Eb Ab
The poisoned rose
Eb G#
That you gave to me
Eb C
It left me half alive
F Bb B9 Bb Eb
And half in ecstasy
Eb7
But if half of your love
G#7 Adim7
Is all I can win
Eb C7
Give me just a fraction
F7 Bb Eb G#7 Eb
But no more medicine
Bb Bb+ Eb G#
The poisoned rose
Eb G#
On a Valentine card
Eb C
That you take straight to the heart
F Bb B9 Bb Eb
That you call my junkyard
Eb7
But if all I can do
G#7 F7
is save pieces of you
Eb
The piece of your mind
Eb7 G#7
The piece of your heart
Adim7
Didn't tear me apart
F7
Like the poisoned rose
Gm7 Bb7 G#
I received from you
C#9+11
I don't know
Eb
How we came to grow
Bb Eb F7
Into this very sad affair
Everytime we do the decent thing
B9 Bb9
Somebody spikes the drink
And a single becomes a pair
(N.C.) Eb Bb7
The poisoned rose
Eb7 G#7
That you wear at your best
Eb C7
That I keep pressed between the white sheets
F7 Bb B9 Bb Eb
Where you lie half undressed
I threw away my shirt and shoes
Eb7 G#7
You looked and I dived in
F7
It's just you and me now
Eb
'Cause I threw away the gin
I threw away your alibis
Eb7 G#7
And all your worn-out clothes
I threw myself upon the floor
Adim7
But I couldn't throw away
Eb G#
This poisoned rose
Eb G#
This poisoned rose
(N.C.) Eb
This poisoned rose
