[Verse 1]

    Am
The poet’s a genius,
     C
It’s something I don’t see,
F                     E
Why would a genius be trippin’ on me?

         Am
And he’s looking at me now,
         C
But what he can’t see is that
    F
I’m looking through his eyes,
        E
So many lies behind his eyes.

            Am
And tell me stories from your past,
            C
And sing me songs you wrote before.
           F
I tell you this my Poison Prince,
               E
You’ll soon be knockin’ on Heaven’s door.


[Chorus]

             Am
Some kind of Poison Prince,
          C
With your eyes in a daze.
             F
Some kind of Poison Prince,
     E
Your life is like a maze.
         Am
And what we all want
         C
and what we all crave,
      F
Is an upbeat song,
          E
So we can dance the night away.

[Verse 2]

    Am
Oh, who said life was easy,
C
Who said life was fair, 
F
Who said nobody gives a damn, 
    E
And nobody even cared. 

    Am
The way you’re acting now, 
         C
Like you left that all behind. 
       F
You’ve given up, you’ve given in, 
        E
Another sucker of that slime. 


[Chorus]

             Am
Some kind of Poison Prince,
          C
With your eyes in a daze.
             F
Some kind of Poison Prince,
     E
Your life is like a maze.
         Am
And what we all want
         C
and what we all crave,
      F
Is an upbeat song,
          E
So we can dance the night away.

Some kind of Poison Prince,
     E
Your life is like a maze.
         Am
And what we all want
         C
and what we all crave,
      F
Is an upbeat song,
          E
So we can dance the night away.
