[Verse 1]
N.C.                   Am      G/B
We were singing in the rain

          Am/C               Dsus2
Like we invented singing

                       Am    G/B
There's a light in the sky

               Am/C               Dsus2
From a million street lights

                      Am      G/B
And we danced all the steps

               Am/C                  Dsus2
From all those old time movies

                 Am      G/B
Rolling down the hill

              Am/C             Dsus2
With laughing hearts
[Chorus]
          F           Dm
In Poison Street they guard the gates

     F              Dm
With bitter, bitter tongues

          F            Dm
In Poison Street we'll laugh out loud

          E
Until the shadows go melt away
[Verse 2]
N.C.           Am      G/B
And I love you now

                Am/C              Dsus2
Like I love you always ever

               Am      G/B
Kissing in the dark

                 Am/C             Dsus2
Like a couple of kids

            Am         G/B
You gave me life

            Am/C                  Dsus2
You gave me light and thunder

                 Am      G/B
Like a blind man sees

                   Am/C           Dsus2
For the very first time
[Chorus]
          F               Dm
In Poison Street we'll go crashing through the walls

     F                Dm
That history made for us

          F            Dm
In Poison Street we'll spring the traps

    E
And race away
[Bridge]
          Eb      Bb/D
So just a kick

         Cm                  Gm
For this dark damned city of ours

      Fm        Bb
And a kiss,

       Cm
Yeah a kiss for you

           Eb      Bb/D
And just a drink

  Cm                   Gm
A toast to the days to come

    Fm                   Bb
Now Poison Street won't break us

    Cm
Any more

N.C.                   Am      G/B
We were singing in the rain

        Am/C                 Dsus2
Like we wrote that song

                       Am      G/B
There's a light in the sky

                      Am/C             Dsus2
From the streetlights all around

            Am           G/B
You gave me life
