[Intro]
A D

[Verse 1]
A
I got some poison on the brain

And I’m not scared I’m not ashamed
D
No more of anything, anything, anything but the rain
A
It melts my smile straight down the drain

I found black magic and white shame
D
And I lost everything, everything, everything but the pain

[Chorus]
A E A
I set my alarm for an early start that I slept through
D A E
I’ve torn apart all chances of stealing your heart
D
That sunless morning
A E
I got my start on the mean streets
A D
Where Damen and Division meet
A E D
Been dodging bullets and dirty looks all fucking morning

[Post-Chorus]
A D

[Verse 2]
A
Now I have violence on the brain

You’re not in love you’re just insane
D
Afraid of everything, everything, everything and the shame
A
It wipes that smile right off your face

Lost in confusion and disgrace
D
I once had everything, everything, everything but you

[Bridge]
A
Jaw dropped, here in shock on the icy streets (You’re Killing)
E
All the alcohol in hell and I just watched it freeze (You’re Killing)
F#m
Now I’ll skate on through
Si tu veux
D
Have it, I’m finished
A
I’m getting out, set the clock for an early start
E
Dodged a bullet, saw my shadow get blown apart
F#m
I won’t apologize
D
You are killing me

[Outro]
A D
I got some poison on the brain
