[Bm] [F#m]

[B] [Bm] [F#m]
Now on the corner [A] of the dead end street [Bm] Too many tears and [F#m] not a drop of relief
It'll shake up your [A] soul, it'll tear down your [Bm] pride
Honey keep your eyes pure, [F#m] let us tell no lies
Hatred is a criminal [A] out on the loose [B] Love might be a judge [F#m] with a hangman's noose
It'll make you strong, [A] it'll make you bitter [Bm] I gotta find myself [F#m] a strong [A] deliverer
I need a drink [E] of something like water [B] I need a [D] taste of a love divine
[A] Sometimes you just [E] gotta do what you oughta [Bm] Sometimes you bring [D] up the water when the [F#m] well is dry
[A] Gone

out walking [A] through the city tonight [B] Sifting through the wreckage [F#m] underneath the lies
All you can do is [A] pray with all your might [B] There's a few thousand [F#m] souls nowhere in sight
It's hard to swing at [A] something you can't see [B] Sometimes we just don't [F#m] know the enemy
Can't live by fear, [A] can't live by deception [B] Hey I'm a man of peace [F#m] with a few exceptions
[A] I need a drink [E] of something like water [Bm] I need a taste [D] of a love divine

But your kiss [A] was an open door So [B] I walked [F#m] through to a new tomorrow
[A]
Finest steel [Bm] honey like an [F#m] arrow straight and true
Like gold [A] in the hottest fire [Bm] Baby that's my love, [F#] my love for you
[A] I need a drink of [E] something like water [Bm] I need a [D] taste of a love divine
[A] Sometimes you just [E] gotta do what you oughta [Bm] Sometimes you [D] bring up the water when the [F#m] well is dry
