[Verse 1]
Dm Gm
Kissing in the acid rain
Dm
Heaven on our tongue again
Gm
The cutest couple in the halls of Hell, well
C
She was smoking with her friends
D#
Exhale nicotine and breathe me in
Dm Gm
Black denim under pale moonlight
Dm
Her skin is milk, so pale and white
Gm
Underneath the teenage spell, well
C
She's Christina Applegate
D# A#
Hopelessly beautiful in 1988
[Chorus]
F#
She's my cyanide
D#
I drink her every night
N.C. A#
And modern love can feel like suicide
F#
She's my cyanide
D#
I drink her every night
N.C. Dm
And modern love can feel like suicide
[Verse 2]
Gm
Holy water for the lady, please
Dm
Love is best upon our knees
Gm
With grass stains upon our jeans, now
C
The devil dreams of me and you
D#
Of all the nasty things we do, oh baby
Dm Gm
Black lipstick on her coffee cup
Dm
Love is envious of lust
Gm
She's cold but still I burn, ah
C
In a gin and tonic trance
D# A#
We know sobriety won't teach the kids to dance
[Chorus]
F#
She's my cyanide
D#
I drink her every night
N.C. A#
And modern love can feel like suicide
F#
She's my cyanide
D#
I drink her every night
N.C. Dm
And modern love can feel like suicide
[Bridge]
Gm Dm
So we drive until the road (Runs out)
Gm
Or at least until our tears
C
We count our sins beneath the sun
D#
We know no one forgives the fugitives of Heaven
[Solo]
A# F# D# D#

[Chorus]
N.C. A#
And modern love can feel like suicide
F#
She's my cyanide
D#
I drink her every night
N.C. A#
And modern love can feel like suicide
F#
She's my cyanide
D#
I drink her every night
N.C.
And modern love can feel like suicide
