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

She's my cyanide

I drink her every night
N.C. F
And modern love can feel like suicide

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