The Poisoned Rose
[email protected]
(N.C.) Eb Ab The poisoned rose Eb Ab 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 Ab7 Adim7 Is all I can win Eb C7 Give me just a fraction F7 Bb Eb Ab7 Eb But no more medicine Bb Bb+ Eb Ab The poisoned rose Eb Ab 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 Ab7 F7 is save pieces of you Eb The piece of your mind Eb7 Ab7 The piece of your heart
Adim7
Didn't tear me apart
F7 Like the poisoned rose Gm7 Bb7 Ab I received from you
Db9+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 Ab7 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 Ab7 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 Ab7 And all your worn-out clothes
I threw myself upon the floor
Adim7
But I couldn't throw away
Eb Ab This poisoned rose Eb Ab This poisoned rose (N.C.) Eb This poisoned rose
