A Poisoned Heart And A Twisted Memory
E B
O you took my word and you took my key
A
You took my pride and you took my dignity
C# F#m E A E A E
How can I still pretend to be what a man should be
E B
Well, whatever I say is in a book
A
Whatever I do there�s someone there to look
C# F#m E A E A E
You just can�t shake a man the way that I�ve been shook
Chorus:
B F#m
Now is this the way it�s supposed to be
B F#m
Is this the way it�s supposed to be
B A B E A E A E
A poisoned heart and a twisted memory (repeat)
O see that lifer doing his time
If I could have his place and he�d have mine
We�d be no better off on either side of the line
Well, you took my job and you put me to sleep
You feed me money, you treat me like a creep
Wish I could get away but I must be in it too deep
Chorus
Well, you tell me you�re going to get in touch
You send me a letter that reads like double-Dutch
You say, you�re bound to lose, you�re a little such-and-such
You got my number, you got my rank
You drained my head, you drained my petrol tank
And when I die of shame I won�t even know who to thank
Chorus
