Kissing in the acid rain
G#m
Heaven on our tongue again
C#m
The cutest couple in the halls of Hell, well
F#
She was smoking with her friends

Exhale nicotine and breathe me in
G#m C#m
Black denim under pale moonlight
G#m
Her skin is milk, so pale and white
C#m
Underneath the teenage spell, well
F#
She's Christina Applegate
A E
Hopelessly beautiful in 1988
[Chorus]
C
She's my cyanide
A
I drink her every night
N.C. E
And modern love can feel like suicide
C
She's my cyanide
A
I drink her every night
N.C. G#m
And modern love can feel like suicide
[Verse 2]
C#m
Holy water for the lady, please
G#m
Love is best upon our knees
C#m
With grass stains upon our jeans, now
F#
The devil dreams of me and you
A
Of all the nasty things we do, oh baby
G#m C#m
Black lipstick on her coffee cup
G#m
Love is envious of lust
C#m
She's cold but still I burn, ah
F#
In a gin and tonic trance
A E
We know sobriety won't teach the kids to dance
[Chorus]

She's my cyanide

And modern love can feel like suicide

She's my cyanide
A
I drink her every night
N.C. G#m
And modern love can feel like suicide
[Bridge]
C#m G#m
So we drive until the road (Runs out)
C#m
Or at least until our tears
F#
We count our sins beneath the sun
A
We know no one forgives the fugitives of Heaven
[Solo]
