Intro: 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 

    G7M                A9         Bm
How could something so fair be so cruel 
     G7M        Bm/F#  A9           Bm
When this black sun revolved around you

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 
     
    G7M                A9         Bm

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 

    G7M                A9         Bm
How could something so fair be so cruel 
     G7M        Bm/F#  A9           Bm
