tune Transposed: semitones

[Verse 1]
[Cm]Do you ever feel alone in a crowded room
[D7]Alcohol on my breath better put on a little perfume
[Gm]I'm out looking for a man who makes me feel
[Cm]Like you use to a long time ago
[D7]But you're out in the street instead of home next to me
[Gm]Planting seeds where nothing will grow

[Chorus 1]
[Cm]So pick your poison, why don't you drink it down
[D7]Don't you feel better now, able to face the crowd
[Gm]Pick your poison (pick your poison)
[Cm]Come on give into sin (into sin)
[D7]If you just sniff one more line then you'll feel whole again
[Gm]Walk of shame four A.M. oh man it's cold

[Verse 2]
[Cm]Knees are weak I need a drink this is getting old
[D7]I used to hold your hand
[Gm]But now I hold this bottle so close to my heart
[Cm]Use all these strange men just to feel whole again
[D7]But you said that we'd never part
[Gm]So pick your poison, why don't you come on down

[Chorus 2]
[Cm]To the local bar in town, just to see who's around
[D7]Pick your poison (pick your poison)
[Gm]Misery loves company (company)
[Cm]But the drugs just ain't as fun as they used to be
[D7]We're out here getting high 'cause we feel so low
[Gm]Oh I need a little powder for my nose

[Verse 3]
[Cm]Because I've been empty for years just trying to fill
[D7]The void where we both used to live
[Gm]And I drink every night just to try to forget
[Cm]But I know that I'll never forgive
[D7]So pick your poison, let it drag you down
[Gm]Six feet underground, never make your mama proud

[Chorus 3]
[Cm]Pick your poison [D7](pick your poison)
[Gm]Come on you're [Cm]in too deep
[D7]Them demons in your head [Gm]they got you losing sleep
