Drive-By Truckers - When the well runs dry

There's a ^Amsacrifice you make There are ^Empeople along the way When there's ^Dmnowhere to run and there's ^Amnowhere to stay And the ^Amwheels still move But ^Emwon't slow down ^DmEven when you're spinning in the ^Amsame soft ground And there's a ^Amtear in her eye Because she's ^Emknown you too long And she ^Dmcan't tell the singer from the ^Amwhorehouse song

When the ^Amwell runs dry There's ^Cnothing left to say Just ^Dmthrow up your hands and ^Amwail all day And ^Ameverything's fair And you don't ^Clike it that way ^DmSomething has to die When the ^Amwell runs dry

There's a ^Amdancer I used to get By ^Emgiving her cigarettes She ^Dmtold me that I hadn't quite ^Amhurt enough yet So I ^Amlet her do me wrong But ^Emnot for very long Then I ^Dmput her in the mirror and I ^Amput her in a song

When the ^Amwell runs dry There's ^Cnothing left to say ^DmThrow up your hands and ^Amwail all day And ^Ameverything's fair And you don't ^Clike it that way ^DmSomething has to die When the ^Amwell runs dry

^CSitting here ^Dmat the top your ^Amwill is getting weak ^CYou let my ^Dmmind get fattened ^Amup ^CNow I'm ^Dmquiet and I ^Amain't supposed to speak ^CI'll speak ^Dmup when I've had en^Emough

A ^Amsinger we used to know He ^Emlet himself go Played ^Dm15 minutes of a ^Amsold out show And ^Ameverybody laughed In the ^Emaftermath And he ^Dmnever came back No he ^Amnever came back

When the ^Amwell runs dry There's ^Cnothing left to say ^DmThrow up your hands and ^Amwail all day And ^Ameverything's fair And you don't ^Clike it that way ^DmSomething has to die When the ^Amwell runs dry
