   we heard it all in halls of pain
   it wasn't good
   there was a call, in baggage claim
   it wasn't good
   she had a hunch, it was't lunch
   it wasn't good

     I drove a spike into the punch, it wasn't good


[chorus]
 F         Dm               Bb
  heaven's boys protect you
       C      F
  i am almost there
          Dm            Bb
  if your poison gets you
         C     F
  i will be on time
         Dm           Bb
  if you sink to madness
        C      F
  say a little pray

  if your poison gets you
       C
  i am down the line

[verse 2] - same riff (guitar left plays Dm on almost every downbeat)

  now once again to halls of pain
  when will it end?
  god's machines say it's your genes
  when will it end?
  why has thou forsaken me, again and again?
  you always said "when will it end?"
  when will it end?


[chorus] - same chords

  heaven's boys protect you
  i am almost there
  if your poison gets you
  i will be on time
  if you sink to madness
  say a little pray
  if your poison gets you
  i am down the line
