Submitted by: paramore_fans@yahoo.com
Key: E
Chords used:
Intro: E--A-B- x2
Verse 1:
Emma appeared like an angel
Emma fell like rain
Into my lap like a heart attack
like lightning from her name
I'm running dry of bad excuses
Don't want to lie or seem intrusive
But time hasn't told me
anything and neither has she
Chorus 1:
A poinsettia in
poison rain
Traded true love for
insult and injury
We washed it down
the drain with one silver
bullet and two vicodin
With two vicodin
Verse 2:
Emma woke up in darkness
suitcase already packed
Note on the bedstand signed
in blood "Sincerely
never coming back"
A nightmare on my street
the day she arrived
A nightmarish household
in which she died because
it made her feel at home
Somehow made me feel at home
Chorus 2:
A poinsettia in poison rain
Traded true love for
insult and injury
We washed it down the drain
with one wooden stake
through the heart and two vicodin
Chorus 3:
A poinsettia in
poison rain
Traded true love for
insult and injury
We washed it down
the drain with one silver
bullet and two vicodin
Chorus 4:
We watched the sun fall crown
on a city that sleeps
in a world upside down
A slow ticket
straight out of town
You went out with a bang when
you took with you all
my dreams underground
With you all my
dreams underground
With you all my
dreams underground
With you all my
E A B E(hold)
dreams underground
