Venomous Love
Taylor Swift

Verse 1:
C                     G
In the shadows, I hear your hiss
Am                                 F
A warning sign, a threat, a dismiss
C                                  G
The fire that once burned, now just a spark
Am                                     F
You're feeding the flames, but we're in the dark

Chorus:
F                            C
We're dancing on the edge, of a love that's lost its way
G                           Am
Tryna find our rhythm, but the beat is fading away
F                                C 
I'm searching for a reason, to stay and fight
G                                  Am
But your love is a venom, and it's poisoning my life

Verse 2:
C                           G
Your eyes, they used to shine like the morning sun
Am                                 F
Now they're cold, dark, and the love is undone
C                                G
The memories we made, they're tainted with pain
Am                                 F
I'm left to wonder, was it all in vain?

Chorus:
F                            C
We're dancing on the edge, of a love that's lost its way
G                           Am
Tryna find our rhythm, but the beat is fading away
F                                C
I'm searching for a reason, to stay and fight
G                                  Am
But your love is a venom, and it's poisoning my life

Bridge:
Am                           F
Maybe I was blind, maybe I was wrong
C                                 G
Thinking our love would last, all life long
Am                               F
But now I see, the snakes in your eyes
C                                           G
And I know I gotta, let you go, and rise

Chorus:
F                            C
We're dancing on the edge, of a love that's lost its way
G                           Am
Tryna find our rhythm, but the beat is fading away
F                                C
I'm searching for a reason, to stay and fight
G                                  Am
But your love is a venom, and it's poisoning my life
