Poison

Am  F


[Verse 1]
C                              G                        Am
My first sip made me gag and I thought I was gonna blow beets,
    F                  C                         G                    F
But I took another and pretty soon brother, sour mash started tasting sweet.
F            C                 G                         Am
Made me feel brave and strong, bulletproof, like I could do no wrong,
    F             C                  G
But I found out before too long what I should've known.



[Chorus]
F             C                 G                Am
You can learn to love anything, even a bird in a cage will sing a song,
F         C                 G
Even it's wrong, even if it kills you in the end.

F             C                 G                               Am
You can learn to love anything, trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain,
F            C                   G
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain,
          F       G         Am                             F       G
Pick your poison,   poison,    pick your poison, pick your poison.



[Verse 2]
C                                G                      A
Ruby lips hid a razor tongue and heart, blue as glacier mice,
F                 C                G                    F
I was warned, but I was willing to ignore everybody's advice.
F                    C              G                         Am
The more I gave, the more she took, she walked away without a second look,
     F             C                  G
Just one more page from the great big book on how.



[Chorus]
F             C                 G                Am
You can learn to love anything, even a bird in a cage will sing a song,
F         C                 G
Even it's wrong, even if it kills you in the end.
F             C                 G                               Am
You can learn to love anything, trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain,
F            C                   G
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain,
          F       G         Am                   G
Pick your poison,   poison,    pick your poison.

Pick your poison,   poison,    pick your poison.
