Poison chords by The Front Porch Step

Difficulty: Beginner


Am                      C                   G     E2
They say the heart only wants what it can't have,

Am                            C            G    E2
so i guess your hand, in mine, will never fit.

Am                      C                   G             E2
'cause if i could find my heart inside this empty, dying, chest,

Am                  C                        G   E2
Then you would find that i'd give you all of it.

Am,C,G,E2 (x2)

Am                    C           G    E2
you stole the matches from my book.

Am                C        G   E2
put out the fire in my eyes.

Am                     C             G           E2
you cause a thunder in my veins when you're around.

Am                C            G     E2
you make me wish that i would die.

Chorus:

C              G                E2
I can't hear you calling out my name,

C            G                        E2
but i still feel your breath across my neck, driving me insane

C                G           E2
But you don't love me, so how do you explain?

C               G                  E2                 C
you walk away from my life but you live inside my brain

G,E2

C        G               E2
You live inside my brain

C,G,E2

Am            C             G       E2
I thought you came to kiss my lips,

Am              C                  G       E2
but you brought your shovel and your tarp.

Am                C              G             E2
The voice that once became the light unto my dark,

Am            C                   G       E2
soon became your tool to break my heart.

Chorus:

C              G                E2
I can't hear you calling out my name,

C            G                        E2
but i still feel your breath across my neck, driving me insane

C                G           E2
But you don't love me, so how do you explain?

C               G                  E2                 C
you walk away from my life but you live inside my brain

Eat my heart for breakfast.

C                    G     E2
Taste it's tainted blood.

C                                  G                E2
Feel your precious poison start to fill it's makers veins

so you can start to feel your so called love.
