[Verse]
F                                           C
I was almost outta here, I nearly left this time
Dm        C     F                                     C
I saw you in my rear view mirror and I pulled up on a dime
Dm                    F
But nothin' ventured, nothin' lost
F                       C
You can't say we didn't try
Dm      C          F                                    C
That is unless you weighed the cost of every tear we cried

[Chorus]
F                        Dm
Why do we do this to each other
C                             Bb   C
I guess we were always poison lovers

[Verse]
F                                                      C
If you could look me in the eye and tell me what you see
Dm    C       F                              C
Maybe you can tell me why I let you torture me
Dm     C         F                                         C
I know that your lips are soft and they sing the sweetest songs
    Dm        C         F                                      C
But I've been listenin' long enough, my heart has turned to stone

[Chorus]
F                        Dm
Why do we do this to each other
C                             Bb   C
I guess we were always poison lovers

[Verse]
F                                              C
Another time, another place, another wind to blame
Dm    C     F                                           C
Cover every track and trace, I'll find you just the same
    Dm    C     F                                      C
And even if we made our peace and went our separate ways
Dm       C        F                                         C
You'd go west and I'd go east and we'd meet here in this place

[Chorus]
F                        Dm
Why do we do this to each other
C                             Bb  C
I guess we were always poison lovers
F                         Dm
Why do we do this to each other
C                             Bb  C
I guess we were always poison lovers
