The Poison Cifras

The All American Rejects - The Poison
From the soundtrack of "Alice in Wonderland", Almost Alice. I think it is one of the
songs - about the love story of Alice and the madhatter. Beautiful. You have to watch the
Enjoy!
 
P.S. It is played with Capo on the 1st.
 
C
You were so young,
Am
And I guess I'm old.
F
Open your eyes,
G
Ill keep mine closed.
C
I prefer standing,
Am
And you take your seat.
F
I'll be wide awake,
G
And you'll be asleep.
 
                Am G   F  G
And you'll fall dooown a hole.
           Am     G      F    G
That's the one place we both know
             Am              G                F      G
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
         Am      G              F            G (let
ring!)
I guess sometimes we both loose our minds, to find a better road.
 
 
Okay, just repeat the chords from Verse 1:
C - Am - F - G
 
I can be pensive,
You can be so sure.
You'll be the poison,
You'll be the cure.
I'm alone on the journey,
I'm alive none the less,
And when you do your very worst,
Mmmmm .. it feels the best.
 
                Am G   F  G
And you'll fall dooown a hole.
           Am     G      F    G
That's the one place we both know
             Am              G                F      G
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
         Am      G              F            G (let
ring!)

Here comes a little solo. Just strum the chords.
 
                Am G   F  G
And you'll fall dooown a hole.
           Am                  G            F    G
That's the one place in this world that we both know
             Am              G       -
You take me with you if you could, but if you could I'd lose anything ...
 
Not sure about this part. I'll add it if I can.
 
Can't you see the faces melting as the sun rains from their eyes,
Go on and keep your head with the hearts that you left behind.
Look at yourself, look in the mirror, don't you see a lie?
That you tell yourself again a thousand times.
And the truth that makes us laugh will make you cry,
You wanna die? No?
 
BREAK .
 
                Am G   F  G
And you'll fall dooown a hole.
           Am     G      F    G
That's the one place we both know
             Am              G                F      G
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
         Am      G              F            G (let
ring...)
