CAPO 2

G 320033
Em 022033
C 032033
D 200233

       G
Poison Ivy
                      Em
Better condition than I’d be
               C
Hook me to an IV
                 D
While I whisper, “Why me?”
       G
In the freezer
                   Em
Your words give me seizures
                 C
And if we take a breather
                   D
We’ll break up and be hurt

  Em            D          G
I won’t let you buy cigarettes
    Em           D         G
But I’ll let you by with regrets
Em             D           G
One thing I’ll find a sure bet
  Em              D           G
A caged bird will fly is she’s left
         Em         D
And I’ll try not to cry
         C          G
Your fingers dry my eyes
   Em          D       G
A memory I’ll never forget

          G
I’ve been wronged
               Em
With little defense
                C
And I’ll sing a song
          D
Of inconsequence
       G
And my days
             Em
With you are numbered
            C
And I’ll be amazed
           D
If we see another

  Em            D          G
I won’t let you buy cigarettes
    Em           D         G
But I’ll let you by with regrets
Em             D           G
One thing I’ll find a sure bet
  Em              D           G
A caged bird will fly is she’s left
         Em         D
And I’ll try not to cry
         C          G
Your fingers dry my eyes
   Em          D       G
A memory I’ll never forget

       G
Poison Ivy
                      Em
Better condition than I’d be
              C
Hook me to an IV
                  G (hold)
While I whisper, “Why me?”
