Poison Words

G   Em   C   Am7  D7

[Verse]
N.C. G                   Em            C
I  remember when we were sweethearts
                    Am7             D7
I was safe with you, you were my protector
N.C.       G               Em             C
Those days were over and I need someone
                  Am7        D7
Someone to keep me safe from you

[Verse]
C                   Am
Love was all we had, we were young and sure
C                      D              G     D
Who'd expect their love would turn to war?
            G   D/F#         Em   C
I don't know who   to pity more
                  Am7    D
How much pain can love endure?

[Verse]
N.C.     G                   Em           C
I should leave you, but I can't seem to
                           Am7      D7
You say, "I'm sorry, dear", and I believe you
               G                    Em          C
And though the next time may be the worst yet
                     Am7          D7
How easily I forgive, how quickly you forget

[Verse]
    C            Am             C
The poison words, the ugliness
                D            G     D
When low on hope and deep in debt
          G D/F#            Em     C
The promises   that bring regret
                        Am7    D
For loving you, is this all I get?

[Instrumental]
C    Am    C    D  G  D  G  D/F#  Em    C    Am7  D

[Verse]
    C            Am             C
The poison words, the ugliness
                D              G   D
The cold remains of married bliss
           G      D/F#         Em   C
To all our dreams,   a fatal kiss
                 Am7     D7
Oh, what kind of love is this?
