[F#m] [B]
[E] [B]
[A] [E]
[B]
There is whiskey in [E] the water, [B]
and there is death upon [E] the vine.
[B]
There is fear in the [E] eyes of your father, and there is yours [Em] and there [B] is mine.
There is a desert [F#] veiled in pavements, [E]
and there's a city of seven hills.
[Bm]
Though our debris flows [E] to the ocean, [B]
to meet again I hope it will.
How [G]
could [D] something so [A]
fair be [Bm] so cruel, [G] when this [D] black sun [A]
revolves [Bm] around you?
[E]
[B]
There is an answer [A] and a question, [E] and there is hope within despair.
[Bm]
There is beauty [A] in a failure, [E]
and there are deaths beyond [B] compare.
[Bm]
There is a role of a [A] lifetime, [E]
and there's a song yet to be sung.
[Bm]
And there's a dumpster in [F#] the driveway, [B]
[E] all the plans that came [B] undone.
How [G]
could [D] something so [A]
fair be [B] so cruel, [C#] [G] when this [D] black sun [A] revolves [Bm] around you?
[G] How could [D] something so [A]
[Bm] fair be so cruel, [D] [G] when this [D] black sun revolves [Bm] around you?
[D] [E]
[Bm]
[A] [E]
[B]
There's whiskey in the [A] water, [B] and there is death upon the vine.
And there is grace [A] within forgiveness, [E]
[B] but it's so hard for me to find.
[G] How could [D] something so [A]
fair be [Bm] so cruel, [G] when this [D] black sun [A] revolves [Bm] around you?
[G] How could [D] something so fair [A] be so cruel, [G] when this [D] black sun [B] revolves around you?
