C#m         E       C#m               E
No one ever thought this one would survive
C#m             E            A           B
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind
C#m           E      C#m           E
Lock you in a dream, never let you go
C#m           E        A          B
Never let you laugh or smile, not you

      A              B          C#m    B    A
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world
                 B            C#m
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
A              B          C#m    B    A
I just want to walk right out of this world
                 B            C#m
'Cause everybody has a poison heart

( C#m  B  C#m  B )

C#m                   E        C#m     E
Making friends with a homeless torn up man
C#m      E                  A                B
He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up
        C#m             E          C#m  E
There's danger on every corner but I'm okay
C#m              E                A            B
Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday

        A              B          C#m  B    A
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world

I just want to walk right out of this world

 A poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart

              C#m  E      C#        E
You know that life really takes its toll
      C#m          E            A               B
And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul
C#m             E        C#m     E
So much damn confusion before my eyes
    C#m              E            A                 B
But nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives

        A              B          C#m  B    A
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world

I just want to walk right out of this world
                  B            C#m
'Cause everybody has a poison heart

A poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart
