Drive-By Truckers - When the well runs dry

There’s ^Ama sacrifice you make There are ^Empeople along the way When there’^Dms nowhere to run and there?^Am??s nowhere to stay And the ^Amwheels still move But ^Emwon’t slow down ^DmEven when you’re spinning in th^Ame same soft ground And there’s ^Ama tear in her eye Because she’^Ems known you too long And she ^Dmcan’t tell the singer from th^Ame whorehouse song

When the ^Amwell runs dry There’^Cs nothing left to say Just ^Dmthrow up your hands and ^Amwail all day And ^Ameverything’s fair And you don’^Ct like it that way ^DmSomething has to die When the ^Amwell runs dry

There’s ^Ama dancer I used to get By ^Emgiving her cigarettes She ^Dmtold me that I hadn’t quit^Ame hurt 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’^Cs nothing left to say ^DmThrow up your hands and ^Amwail all day And ^Ameverything’s fair And you don’^Ct like 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’^Dmm quiet and ^AmI ain’t supposed to speak ^CI’ll spea^Dmk up when I’ve ha^Emd enough

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’^Cs nothing left to say ^DmThrow up your hands and ^Amwail all day And ^Ameverything’s fair And you don’^Ct like it that way ^DmSomething has to die When the ^Amwell runs dry
