Water When The Well Is Dry
By Buddy Miller
F#m A Bm F#m 4 times
[F#m]Down on the corner of the [A]dead end street
[Bm]Too many tears and not a [F#m]drop of relief
[F#m]It'll shake up your soul it'll [A]tear down your pride
[Bm]Honey keep your eyes pure [F#m]let us tell no lies
[F#m]Hatred is a criminal [A]out on the loose
[Bm]Love might be a judge with a [F#m]hangman's noose
[F#m]It'll make you strong it'll [A]make you bitter
[Bm]I got to find myself a [F#m]strong deliverer
[A]I need a drink of [E]something like water
[Bm]I need a taste of [D]love divine
[A]Sometimes you just gotta [E]do what you oughta
[Bm]Sometimes you bring up the [D]water when the well is [F#m]dry
F#m A Bm F#m 2 times
[F#m]Gone out walking through the [A]city tonight
[Bm]Sittin through the wreckage unde[F#m]rneath the lights
[F#m]All you can do is pray [A]with all your might
[Bm]There's a few thousand souls [F#m]no where in sight
[F#m]It's hard to swing at something [A]you can't see
[Bm]Sometimes we just don't know the [F#m]enemy
[F#m]Can't live by fear [A]can't live by deception
[Bm]Hey I'm a man of peace with a [F#m]few exceptions
[A]I need a drink of [E]something like water
[Bm]I need a taste of [D]love divine
[A]Sometimes you just gotta [E]do what you oughtta
[Bm]Sometimes you bring up the [D]water when the well is [F#m]dry
F#m A Bm F#m 2 times
[D]When the[A] world starts shaking
And the [E]walls are breaking down [Bm]till nothing's l[D]eft
Baby [A]you're gonna need to [E]hold onto something that is
[D]Stronger than [F#m]yourself
[F#m]Baby your eyes were [A]wet with tears
[Bm]Your skin was [F#m]drenched in sorrow
[F#m]But you kiss was an o[A]pen door
[Bm]So I walked thru to a [F#m]new tomorrow
[F#m]Honey like a blade of [A]finest steel
[Bm]Yea like an arrow [F#m]straight and true
[F#m]Like gold in the [A]hottest fire
[Bm]Baby that is my love my [F#m]love for you
[A]I need a drink of [E]something like water
[Bm]I need a taste of [D]love divine
[A]Sometimes you just gotta [E]do what you oughtta
[Bm]Sometimes you bring up the [D]water when the well is [F#m]dry
