[Intro]

[Verse]
Bm                     D 
There is whisky in the water 
Asus2                        Em 
And there is death upon the vine 
Bm                                D 
There is fear in the eyes of your father 
Asus2                              Em 
And there is "Yours" and there is "Mine" 
Bm                          D 
There is a desert veiled in pavement 
Asus2                   Em 
And there's a city of seven hills 
Bm                              D 
And all our debris flows to the ocean 
Asus2                    Em 
To meet again, I hope it will
[Chorus]
     G6       Bm7      Asus2 
How could something so fair 
      Bm 
Be so cruel 
     G6          Bm7   Asus2 
When this black sun revolved 
        Bm 
Around you!
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Bm                       D 
There is an answer in a question 
Asus2                     Em 
And there is hope within despair 
Bm                        D 
And there is beauty in a failure, 
Asus2                        Em 
And there are depths beyond compare 
Bm                       D 
There is a role of a lifetime 
Asus2                        Em 
And there's a song yet to be sung 
Bm                              D 
And there's a dumpster in the driveway 
Asus2                       Em 
Of all the plans that came undone
[Chorus]
    G6      Bm7      Asus2 
How could something so fair 
      Bm 
Be so cruel 
      G6        Bm7     Asus2 
When this black sun revolved 
        Bm 
Around you!  
    G6         Bm7     Asus2 
How could something so fair 
      Bm 
Be so cruel 
     G6         Bm7    Asus2 
When this black sun revolved 
        Bm 
Around you!
[Verse]
Bm                     D 
There is whisky in the water 
Asus2                       Em 
And there is death upon the vine 
Bm                           D 
And there is grace within forgiveness 
Asus2                       Em 
But it's so hard for me to find
[Chorus]
    G6       Bm7       Asus2 
How could something so fair 
      Bm 
Be so cruel 
     G6                 Asus2 
When this black sun revolved 
        Bm 
Around you!  
    G6       Bm7        Asus2 
How could something so fair 
      Bm 
Be so cruel 
      G6         Bm7   Asus2 
When this black sun revolved 
        Bm 
Around you!
