[Intro]

Am C F E Am C F E E E E

Am C F E Am C F E E

[Verse 1]

The poet’s a genius,

It’s something I don’t see,

F E

Why would a genius be trippin’ on me?

And he’s looking at me now,

But what he can’t see is that

I’m looking through his eyes,

So many lies behind his eyes.

And tell me stories from your past,

And sing me songs you wrote before.

I tell you this my Poison Prince,

You’ll soon be knockin’ on Heaven’s door.

[Chorus]

Some kind of Poison Prince,

With your eyes in a daze.

Some kind of Poison Prince,

Your life is like a maze.

And what we all want

and what we all crave,

Is an upbeat song,

So we can dance the night away.

[Interlude]

Am C F E Am C F E E

[Verse 2]

Oh, who said life was easy,

Who said life was fair,

Who said nobody gives a damn,

And nobody even cared.

The way you’re acting now,

Like you left that all behind.

You’ve given up, you’ve given in,

Another sucker of that slime.

[Chorus]

Some kind of Poison Prince,

With your eyes in a daze.

Some kind of Poison Prince,

Your life is like a maze.

And what we all want

and what we all crave,

Is an upbeat song,

So we can dance the night away.

[Interlude]

Am C F E Am C F E

[Chorus]

Some kind of Poison Prince,

With your eyes in a daze.

Some kind of Poison Prince,

Your life is like a maze.

And what we all want

and what we all crave,

Is an upbeat song,

So we can dance the night away.
