[Intro]
G Gadd4 Am11 Am11/E G Gadd4
[Verse 1]
G
Long time no see
Gadd4 Am11 Am11/E G Gadd4
Did you wear that dress for me or is someone else writing you songs?
G Gadd4 Am11
I need a drink and I need you to see me like you used to
Am11/E G Gadd4 G Gadd4 G
Like before I introduced you to my shadows
[Chorus 1]
Am11 Am11/E Gadd4/B
How 'bout a round of poison arrows?
Cadd9 G
The first one burns but then you'll feel good
G Gadd4 Am11 Am11/E G
[Verse 2]
G Gadd4
I see your faults and I raise you mine
Am11
I see it's too late to apologize
Am11/E G Gadd4
I see all my friends are long gone
G Gadd4
Was it me, or something I said?
Am11 Am11/E G Gadd4
An uninteresting drug with uninteresting side-effects
[Chorus 2]
Am11 Am11/E Gadd4/B
I blame these poison arrows
Cadd9 G Gadd4 G
A better man would have walked away by now
[Bridge]
G D/F# Em7 * G C/G G Cadd9 Em7 C/G
Sometimes at night, in my mind, I go to the wrong side of town
Am11 Em7 C/G G
I don't know what that means but I'm sure of one thing
Am11 Am11 Gadd4/B
That which doesn't kill me
Cadd9 G
Makes me wish that I were dead
G Gadd4 Am11 Am11/E G Gadd4 G
[Chorus 3]
Am11 Am11/E Gadd4/B
God damn these poison arrows
Cadd9 G Gadd4 G
Would you like to...Oh, never mind
[Chorus 4]
Am11 Am11/E Gadd4/B
Last call for poison arrows
Cadd9 G Gadd4 G Gadd4
I know, I don't have to stay here, but I can't go home
