(intro with palm muted strumming)
I feel so lonesome
since I lost my someone
with this government paycheck
I’m gonna buy a new one
and sit right here
with my lukewarm
just a licking my wounds
from ear to ear
E
so the old folk warned
from the year before
B
keeps a thumb in my street
E
climbing in my backseat
so what if I lay
down my head till one day
B
just lift my bones
E
from coast to coast
A
oh my poison
E
keeps traveling as you grin from ear to ear
B A
I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up here
E
oh my poison, oh
oh my poison, oh
E
so the sun shed slow
on the musty water
B
so buy some real estate
E
gather some daughters
teach em all about mercy
keep em all thirsty
B
love sure is blind
E
from time to time
A
oh my poison
E
keeps traveling as you grin from ear to ear
B A
I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up here
E
oh my poison, oh
oh my poison, oh
