Pretty Poison

| Am   F  | Dm   E7  |


[Verse 1]
Am                       F                             Dm     E7
 I could tell the real story, but I know you wouldn't listen
Am                           F                             Dm     E7
 I've tried to tell it many times, but you always go and twist it, yeah
              Am                F
Nearly every morning that I cry
              C                    E7
Waking up to words to throwing knives, mmm
Am                         F                              C        E7
 Swear I'm looking in the mirror, but I'm seeing someone different


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
 Looking at you lick your lips, you think you know me
Am
 Making faces at me while you paint mine for me
Am
 Say my name, say my name like you know it's holy


[Chorus]
      Am           Dm
Everybody wants a taste
          C                E7
But the truth is hard to chase
        Am           Dm             C    E7
Pretty poison in my mind and in my veins   (Mmm)
       Am                Dm
If my name is in your throat
                C                 E7
Your words are dead, I hope you choke
           Am                Dm               C
But in the end, I hope you know, I hopе you know
N.C.                           Am
I'm in your veins like pretty poison


[Verse 2]
Am                                F                          C     E7
 You think you'rе kissing on my scars while you rip 'em wide open
Am                         F                                 C     E7
 You sugarcoat your sharp teeth while you're praying on me broken
                      Am                 F
You couldn't hate me more than I hate myself
               C                 E7
Add it to my wrist, I can go to Hell
Am                         F                        C     Am
 If you think you want me dead, go ahead, here's a token


[Chorus]
      Am           F
Everybody wants a taste
          Dm               E7
But the truth is hard to chase
        Am           F              Dm
Pretty poison in my mind and in my veins
       Am                F
If my name is in your throat
                C                 E7
Your words are dead, I hope you choke
           Am                F                C
But in the end, I hope you know, I hope you know
             E7                Am      F    C
I'm in your veins like pretty poison
             E7                Am      F    C
I'm in your veins like pretty poison
             E7                Am
I'm in your veins like pretty poison
