Poison Drum Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
And [D]I'm not afraid of
the man next door
He's calm and quiet with a heart of stone
He [G]fires a fire [Bm]away [G]that'll kill us [D]all
And I'm not moving to a halfway house
To work my hands for the temple
How I'd [G]die for pretty thing
[Bm]s on[G] bigger walls[D]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]And try [G]to have it [D]all
And [Bm]try [G]to have it all

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 3]
And [D]I won't listen to the men on stage
They want my share of the minimum wage
And [G]fear the final things
that we could [D]know
And I'm not seeing what the vicar sees
To fall in love with the whole trapeze and
[G]Stow the self away like a poison [D]drum

[Verse 4]
It's [G]a sign[Bm][G]
[D]that we'll be gone
It's [Bm]a sign[G][D][Bm]
[G]that we'[D]ll be gone

[Verse 5]
[D]And when [G]you walk
There's a fire,
there's a fire in your [D]bones
And when they [G]talk
There's a liar,

[Interlude 2]
there's a liar in their clothes
[D]

[Verse 6]
And [D]I'm not afraid of the ghetto lords
And they carved our names
on the city walls
But they [G]lack the fire of faith
that'll save us [D]all
And I'm not doing what I can't avoid
To sell my soul for the trade and toil of
[G]Fate and final things before the [D]soil

[Verse 7]
[D]To try [G]to have it all[D]
And [Bm]to die[G][D]
[Bm]to h[G]ave [D]it all

[Verse 8]
[D]And when you [G]walk
There's a fire,
there's a fire in your [D]bones
And when they [G]talk
There's a liar,
there's a liar in their [D]clothes
And when you [G]walk
There's a fire,
there's a fire in your [D]bones
And when they [G]talk
There's a liar, there's a liar,
there's a liar, there's a liar
There's a liar, there's a liar,
there's a liar

[Interlude 3]
There's a liar in their clothes
[D]

[Verse 9]
[G]There's no reason why we
can't be [D]loyal
[G]There's no reason why we
[D]can't be loyal
[G]There's no [D]reas[G]on why we
can't [D]be [C]loy[G]al[D][G]
There's no reason why
[Em]we can't[G][D]

[Verse 10]
be loyal
[D]
But I'm not afraid

[Interlude 4]
I'm not afraid
[D]

[Verse 11]
[D]No, I'm not

[Interlude 5]
I'm terrified
[D]

[Verse 12]
[D]And when you [G]walk
There's a fire,
there's a fire in your [D]bones
And when you [G]talk
There's a liar,
there's a liar in their [D]clothes
Yeah when you [G]walk
There's a fire,
there's a fire in your [D]bones
And when they [G]talk
There's a liar,

[Interlude 6]
there's a liar in their clothes
[G][D]

[Verse 13]
[D]I'm not afraid of the man
next door
He's calm and quiet with a heart of stone
He [G]fires a fire away that'll kill us [D]all
But I am doing everything I can
For the minds of men that I've never met
Too [G]tired from saving
money just to save my[D]self
