Poison Moon chords by Elvis Costello

C              F          C              F
Cut loose in a nightmare, cast off in my dreams

C             C/B              Am       Am/G        D                    G
If home is anywhere that I can hang my hat then it's coming apart at the seams

Am               D            Am                 D
My luck is hanging upside down, I try to hold on tight

E                   A               B          D7
But money's rolling out of town and love slips right out of sight and these bones

                           G
They don't look so good to me

D7                           G
Jokers talk and they all disagree

F       G
One day soon

       C                  F           G      C
I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon

C               F
You look in the mirror

    C                      F
I'm sorry, but it can't be replaced

       C               C/B         Am      Am/G
You're thrown straight out in that cruel parade

D                 G
Buttoned down and laced

Am             D            Am                D
It starts like fascination, it ends up like a trance

             E             A         B                D7
You've gotta use your imagination on some of that magazine romance and these bones

                           G
They don't look so good to me

D7                           G
Jokers talk and they all disagree

F       G
One day soon

       C                  F           G      C
I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon

F       G
One day soon

       C                  F           G      C
I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
