Intro:  Em D  (up)Em     D   C1  D

Em          D         Em                  D
No one ever thought this one would survive.
Em          D                     Am            D
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind.
Em          D         Em                D
Lock you in a dream, never let you go,
Em          D                     Am
never let you laugh or smile..oh................. oh, not you.


(Chorus :)

Am                  D             G              C1
   Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
Am                  D            Em
   'cause everybody has a poison heart.
Am                D              G         C1
   I just want to walk right out of this world,
Am            D                   Em
   'cause everybody has a poison heart.


Em D  (up)Em     D   C1  D

Em                    D        Em        D
Making friends with a homeless torn up man,
Em           D         Am                   D
he just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up.
Em                      D      Em         D
There's danger on every corner but I'm okay,
Em               D         Am             D
walking down the street trying to forget yesterday.

(Chorus :)

Am                    D             G              C1
   Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
Am                  D            Em
   'cause everybody has a poison heart.
   Am                D      G             C1
   I just want to walk right out of this world,
         Am            D         Em
   'cause everybody has a poison heart.


(i'm not too sure on this next part, but I tried! You make the Call! I'm offering 2

Version #1 :   C1    D   C1    D

Version #2    F   C1     F    C1

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

  (Chorus)

Em  D                   Em   D               
 D                  Em D
               a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.

Em  D                   Em   D               
 D                  Em D
               a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.
