Am                       F
 I could tell the real story,
                         Dm     E7
but I know you wouldn't listen
Am                          F
I've tried to tell it many times,
                       Dm        E7
but you always go and twist it, yeah
              Am               Dm
Nearly every morning that I cry
              C                  E7
Waking up to words to throwing knives, mmm
Am                        Dm
Swear I'm looking in the mirror,
                        C       E7
but I'm seeing someone different

Am
Looking at you lick your lips,
you think you know me
Making faces at me while you paint mine for me
Say my name, say my name like you know it's holy

Chorus:
      Am           Dm
Everybody wants a taste
          C                E7
But the truth is hard to chase
        Am           Dm             C   E7
Pretty poison in my mind and in my veins (Mmm)
       Am                Dm
If my name is in your throat
                C                 E7
Your words are dead, I hope you choke
           Am                Dm               C
But in the end, I hope you know, I hope you know
                               Am
I'm in your veins like pretty poison

You think you're kissing on my scars while
you rip 'em wide open
You sugarcoat your sharp teeth while
you're praying on me broken
You couldn't hate me more than I hate myself
Add it to my wrist, I can go to Hell
If you think you want me dead, go ahead,
 here's a token

Chorus:
Everybody wants a taste
But the truth is hard to chase
Pretty poison in my mind and in my veins
If my name is in your throat
Your words are dead, I hope you choke
But in the end, I hope you know, I hope you know
I'm in your veins like pretty poison
I'm in your veins like pretty poison
I'm in your veins like pretty poison
