I just got back from the doctor

He told me that I had a problem

But I realized it’s you
G           D#             Em
I try to scratch away the issue

All I ever get is tissues
          D#            G
So I can wipe away my tears
G

Now, I found out you were lying
When you told me you were trying
Just to medicate the rash
Tangled vines, they are deceiving
From the lines that now are leading
To the truth I need to hear

Chorus

G
Yow
Yeah
I breakout and I start to shake
When I hear your name
               F G F
I can’t walk away
G
I can’t stop, even if I try
I lay down my pride
               F G F
I can’t walk away
G
I get burned and I have to learn
That the court’s adjourned
      F        C
I can’t walk away
G   F C
Yeah
G
Tried lines and tangled vines and
Where the trying times
      F        C
I can’t walk away

       G
Poison ivy

Chorus:
Everyone's allergic to poison ivy
Everybody needs a little poison ivy
Everybody wants a little poison ivy
Everybody gets the itch, everybody hates that
Everybody needs a little poison ivy
Everybody gets the itch, everybody hates that
Everybody needs a little poison ivy

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Give me some poison, baby
