(In this song there's a few less prominent chord changes which I've written
within parentheses, so it's up to you if you think they sound good or not)
 
 
 
[Intro]: Bm
 
Bm
I am longing for your poison, like a cancer for its prey
 
Shot an arrow in your harbor, where you waited in the rain
Bm    A    Em7   Bm   A     D      G
I am siren, I am ivy, I am no one, I'm nobody
Bm   (A)     (G)      (Bm)   A             G
I am longing for your honey, I am longing for your love
 
          Bm A   Em        Bm          D A G Bm
And the shot goes through my head and back
   Bm A  Em Bm           D A G Bm
Gun shot, can't take it back
 
 Bm    (A) (G)       (Bm)  (Bm)  (A)    (G)   (Bm)
Lay me down in your ocean, carry me and my burden
(Bm)   (A)      (G)      (Bm)   A             G
I was dreaming about you honey, I was hoping you'd save me
 
          Bm A   Em        Bm          D A G Bm
And the shot goes through my head and back 
   Bm A  Em Bm           D A G Bm
Gun shot, can't take it back 
    Bm     A     Em    Bm           D A G Bm
My heart cracked, really loved you bad
   Bm A  Em  Bm          D A G Bm
Gun shot, never get you back
 
A                         G                   F#m
And I ache, while you're not here, feel you aching
                        G                                                Bm
Wide awake, why you're not here, I can feel you firing straight into my heart
 
 
Goes through my head and back
 
Gun shot, can't take it back
    Bm     A     Em    Bm           D A G Bm
My heart cracked, really loved you bad
   Bm A  Em  Bm          D A G   Bm          D A G
Gun shot, never get you back, never get you back
   Bm          D A G   Bm          D A G
Never get you back, never get you back
   Bm          D A G Bm
Never get you back

Transpose -2, capo on 3, Am and Dm are really nice for this song, great job on the chords!

Yes in A minor. I meant transpose from your arrangement, not the original. And then Capo on 3 lines it up with the original, if you so desire. Also, something about how you edited today has made it so the chords in parentheses are in black instead of blue, and now they don't work with the transpose button. Just a heads up. I love playing this song, thanks again for this!
