(N.C.)       D#     G#
The poisoned rose
                 D#    G#
That you gave to me
           D#    C
It left me half alive
    F            A#  B9  A#  D#
And half in ecstasy
               D#7
But if half of your love
G#7          Adim7
Is all I can win
D#             C7
Give 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#              C
That you take straight to the heart
     F               A#   B9   A#   D#
That you call my junkyard
           D#7
But if all I can do
G#7               F7
is save pieces of you
         D#
The piece of your mind
         D#7    G#7
The piece of your heart
                Adim7
Didn't tear me apart
              F7
Like 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#       F7
Into this very sad affair

Everytime we do the decent thing
         B9         A#9
Somebody    spikes the drink

And a single becomes a pair


(N.C.)       D#    A#7
The poisoned rose
             D#7     G#7
That you wear at your best
            D#         C7
That 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#7
You looked and I dived in
                  F7
It's just you and me now
                    D#
'Cause I threw away the gin

I threw away your alibis
    D#7              G#7
And all your worn-out clothes

I threw myself upon the floor
    Adim7
But       I couldn't throw away
              D#     G#
This poisoned rose
              D#     G#
This poisoned rose
              (N.C.) D#
This poisoned rose
