When The Well Runs Dry Chords & Lyrics - Drive-by Truckers

[B] -Side

Tab by Al Byrne

Tune full step down

[Am] [Em] [D] [Am]

[C] [Dm] [Am]

There's a [Am]sacrifice you make
There are [Em]people along the way
When there's [Dm]nowhere to run and there's [Am]nowhere to stay
And the [Am]wheels still move
But [Em]won't slow down
[Dm]Even when you're spinning in the [Am]same soft ground
And there's a [Am]tear in her eye
Because she's [Em]known you too long
And she [Dm]can't tell the singer from the [Am]whorehouse song

When the [Am]well runs dry
There's [C]nothing left to say
Just [Dm]throw up your hands and [Am]wail all day
And [Am]everything's fair
And you don't [C]like it that way
[Dm]Something has to die
When the [Am]well runs dry

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

When the [Am]well runs dry
There's [C]nothing left to say
[Dm]Throw up your hands and [Am]wail all day
And [Am]everything's fair
And you don't [C]like it that way
[Dm]Something has to die
When the [Am]well runs dry

[C]Sitting here [Dm]at the top your [Am]will is getting weak
[C]You let my [Dm]mind get fattened [Am]up
[C]Now I'm [Dm]quiet and I [Am]ain't supposed to speak
[C]I'll speak [Dm]up when I've had en[Em]ough

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

When the [Am]well runs dry
There's [C]nothing left to say
[Dm]Throw up your hands and [Am]wail all day
And [Am]everything's fair
And you don't [C]like it that way
[Dm]Something has to die
When the [Am]well runs dry

[Am] [Em] [Dm] [Am]

[C] [Dm] [Am]
