Verse 1:
E
Emma appeared like an angel
A B
Emma fell like rain
E
Into my lap like a heart attack

like lightning from her name
E
I'm running dry of bad excuses
A B
Don't want to lie or seem intrusive
E
But time hasn't told me
A B
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
B E A B
bullet and two vicodin
E A B
With two vicodin
Verse 2:
E
Emma woke up in darkness
A B
suitcase already packed
E
Note on the bedstand signed
A
in blood "Sincerely
B

A nightmare on my street
the day she arrived
A
A nightmarish household
B
in which she died because
E
it made her feel at home
A B
Somehow made me feel at home

with one wooden stake

through the heart and two vicodin

We watched the sun fall crown
E
on a city that sleeps

in a world upside down

A slow ticket
A
straight out of town

You went out with a bang when
B
you took with you all
E A
my dreams underground
B
With you all my
E A
dreams underground
B
With you all my

dreams underground
B
With you all my

dreams underground
