Bm  D  A9  Em

Bm                       D
There is whiskey in the water
A9                              Em
And there is death upon the vine
Bm                                 D
There is fear in the eyes of your father
A9                                 Bm
And there is "Yours" and there is "Mine"
Bm                          D
There is a desert veiled in pavement
A9                               Em
And there's a city of seven hills
Bm                              D
And all our debris flows to the ocean
A9                         Bm
To meet again, I hope it will

    GM7                A9         Bm
How could something so fair be so cruel
     GM7        Bm/F#  A9           Bm   
When this black sun revolved around you

Bm  D  A9  Em

Bm                      D 
There is an answer in a question
A9                           Em
And there is hope within despair
Bm                        D
And there is beauty in a failure
A9                          Bm
And there are depths beyond compare
Bm                       D
There is a role of a lifetime
A9                              Em 
And there's a song yet to be sung
Bm                            D
And there's a dumpster in the driveway
A9                         Bm
Of all the plans that came undone
    
    GM7                A9         Bm
How could something so fair be so cruel
     GM7        Bm/F#  A9           Bm   
When this black sun revolved around you
    GM7                A9         Bm
How could something so fair be so cruel
     GM7        Bm/F#  A9           Bm   
When this black sun revolved around you

Bm                       D
There is whiskey in the water
A9                              Em
And there is death upon the vine
Bm                         D
And there is grace within forgiveness
A9                          Bm
But it's so hard for me to find

    GM7                A9         Bm
How could something so fair be so cruel
     GM7        Bm/F#  A9           Bm   
When this black sun revolved around you
