Am Em D Am

C Dm Am


Am
There�s a sacrifice you make
Em
There are people along the way
Dm Am
When there�s nowhere to run and there�s nowhere to stay
Am
And the wheels still move
Em
But won�t slow down
Dm Am
Even when you�re spinning in the same soft ground
Am
And there�s a tear in her eye
Em
Because she�s known you too long
Dm Am
And she can�t tell the singer from the whorehouse song

Am
When the well runs dry
C
There�s nothing left to say
Dm Am
Just throw up your hands and wail all day
Am
And everything�s fair
C
And you don�t like it that way
Dm
Something has to die
Am
When the well runs dry

Am
There�s a dancer I used to get
Em
By giving her cigarettes
Dm Am
She told me that I hadn�t quite hurt enough yet
Am
So I let her do me wrong
Em
But not for very long
Dm Am
Then I put her in the mirror and I put her in a song

Am
When the well runs dry
C
There�s nothing left to say
Dm Am
Throw up your hands and wail all day
Am
And everything�s fair
C
And you don�t like it that way
Dm
Something has to die
Am
When the well runs dry

C Dm Am
Sitting here at the top your will is getting weak
C Dm Am
You let my mind get fattened up
C Dm Am
Now I�m quiet and I ain�t supposed to speak
C Dm Em
I�ll speak up when I�ve had enough

Am
A singer we used to know
Em
He let himself go
Dm Am
Played 15 minutes of a sold out show
Am
And everybody laughed
Em
In the aftermath
Dm
And he never came back
Am
No he never came back

Am
When the well runs dry
C
There�s nothing left to say
Dm Am
Throw up your hands and wail all day
Am
And everything�s fair
C
And you don�t like it that way
Dm
Something has to die
Am
When the well runs dry

Am Em Dm Am

C Dm Am
