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