E5          D5         E5                  D5 
No one ever thought this one would survive. 
E5          D5                     A5            D5 
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind. 
E5          D5         E5                D5 
Lock you in a dream , never let you go, 
E5          D5                     A5 
never let you laugh or smile..oh................. oh, not you. 
 
(Chorus :) 
A5                  D5             G5              C5  
   Well, I just want to walk right out of this world, 
A5                  D5            E5 
   'cause everybody has a poison heart. 
A5                D5              G5         C5  
   I just want to walk right out of this world, 
A5            D5                   E5 
   'cause everybody has a poison heart.

E5                    D5        E5        D5 
Making friends with a homeless torn up man, 
E5           D5         A5                   D5 
he just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up. 
E5                      D5      E5         D5 
There's danger on every corner but I'm okay, 
E5               D5         A5             D5 
walking down the street trying to forget yesterday. 
 
(Chorus :) 
A5                    D5             G5              C5  
   Well, I just want to walk right out of this world, 
A5                  D5            E5 
   'cause everybody has a poison heart. 
   A5                D5      G5             C5  
   I just want to walk right out of this world, 
         A5            D5         E5 
   'cause everybody has a poison heart.

E5            D5    E5               D5 
You know that life really takes its toll 
      E5         D5            A5                D5 
and a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul. 
E5          D5          E5        D5 
So much damn confusion before my eyes, 
    E5                 D5         A5              D5 
but nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives. 
 
  (Chorus) 
 

E5  D5                   E5   D5                

 D5                  E5 D5 
               a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart. 
E5  D5                   E5   D5                

 D5                  E5 D5 
               a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.
