Poor Man's Poison


Tom: Am

Am      C       E
Am  C   E       Am  C   E
Am  C   E       Am  C   E   N.C.

[Verse 1]
            Am                   C              E
Everybody's watching now                           And you don't know
              Am                 C              E
Where your next move is taking you                 Where you need to go
             Am                  C              E
You see you lost your way back there a ways        And can't seem to find
            Am                   C              E                     N.C.
A reason for remembering                        How you lost track of time

[Chorus]
            Am             C                    E
You've got to slo----w it do------wn     You're runnin' on empty now
            Am             C                    E
You've got to slo----w it do------wn       Just stop and take a look around
                      Am         C                            E
You got devils in the distance   Watchin' you sleep  And they runnin' around with the friends you keep
            Am             C                    E         N.C.
You've got to slo----w                   Slow it down

[Verse 2]
                      Am             C          E
You see it gets a bit hea---vy                     And then it gets a bit more
                   Am                C          E
When you start losin' memories                     Of what it was before
            Am                       C          E
You started lyin' to yourself a long time ago      So no one else finds out
                     Am              C          E                           N.C.
That your reasons were excuses                  Oh and now you're all fresh out

[Chorus]
            Am             C                    E
You've got to slo----w it do------wn     You're runnin' on empty now
            Am             C                    E
You've got to slo----w it do------wn       Just stop and take a look around
                      Am         C                            E
You got devils in the distance   Watchin' you sleep  And they runnin' around with the friends you keep
            Am             C                    E
You've got to slo----w                   Slow it down

[Instrumental]
Am      C       E               Am      C       E       N.C.

[Verse 3]
                  Am                C           E
I got one thing to say                             See I been there too
                       Am           C           E
And now it ain't about me, no                      But it ain't all about you
                             Am                 C
So when you get to where you're goin'        Remember this
               E
You made your bed and now you're layin' at the bottom of the list
        Am             C             E         N.C.
You never slo----w             Slowed it down

[Chorus]
            Am             C                    E
You've got to slo----w it do------wn     You're runnin' on empty now
            Am             C                    E
You've got to slo----w it do------wn       Just stop and take a look around
                      Am         C
You got devils in the distance   Watchin' you sleep
               E
You made your bed and now you're layin' at the bottom of the deep
        Am             C             E
You never slo----w             Slowed it down

[Outro]
                 Am            C                E
Oh, you've got to slo----w it down       Slow it down
                 Am            C                E            F    E
Oh, you've got to slo----w it down       Slow it down
