The Poisoned Rose

(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
