[Verse 1]
C#m                     F#m
Kissing in the acid rain
                     C#m
Heaven on our tongue again
                                 F#m
The cutest couple in the halls of Hell, well
        B
She was smoking with her friends
       D
Exhale nicotine and breathe me in
C#m                        F#m
Black denim under pale moonlight
                            C#m
Her skin is milk, so pale and white
                       F#m
Underneath the teenage spell, well
           B
She's Christina Applegate
           D               A
Hopelessly beautiful in 1988
 
[Chorus]
         F
She's my cyanide
            D
I drink her every night
N.C.                             A
And modern love can feel like suicide
         F
She's my cyanide
            D
I drink her every night
N.C.                             C#m
And modern love can feel like suicide
 
 
[Verse 2]
                         F#m
Holy water for the lady, please
                      C#m
Love is best upon our knees
                           F#m
With grass stains upon our jeans, now
          B
The devil dreams of me and you
           D
Of all the nasty things we do, oh baby
C#m                          F#m
Black lipstick on her coffee cup
                   C#m
Love is envious of lust
                       F#m
She's cold but still I burn, ah
     B
In a gin and tonic trance
        D                                A
We know sobriety won't teach the kids to dance
 
 
[Chorus]
         F
She's my cyanide
            D
I drink her every night
N.C.                             A
And modern love can feel like suicide
         F
She's my cyanide
            D
I drink her every night
N.C.                             C#m
And modern love can feel like suicide
 
[Bridge]
                      F#m        C#m
So we drive until the road (Runs out)
                      F#m
Or at least until our tears
             B
We count our sins beneath the sun
           D
We know no one forgives the fugitives of Heaven
 
[Solo]
A F D D
A F D
 
[Chorus]
N.C.                             A
And modern love can feel like suicide
         F
She's my cyanide
            D
I drink her every night
N.C.                          A
And modern love can feel like suicide
         F
She's my cyanide
            D
I drink her every night
N.C.
And modern love can feel like suicide

Good job! Really like creeper's new album, so this tab is very handy. For everyone who wants to play the opening riff and the chords and struggles with the transitions: just play the 2. and 0. of the 4th and 3th, and the 3. and the 0. of the 2th string: that's the riff moved a bit closer to the A-chord ;D

In the verse, that should be a D minor chord. Not D major.

The riff is fantastic and the chords are accurate - lyrics are a little off in places but overall BRILL
