Buddy Miller   Water When The Well Is Dry by Buddy Miller
                                             Bill Mallonee

F#m  A  Bm  F#m  4x

F#m                       A
Down on the corner of the dead end street
Bm                       F#m
Too many tears and not a drop of relief
F#m                            A        
It'll shake up your soul it'll tear down your pride
Bm                        F#m
Honey keep your eyes pure let us tell no lies
F#m                  A
Hatred is a criminal out on the loose
Bm                           F#m
Love might be a judge with a hangman's noose
F#m                         A
It'll make you strong it'll make you bitter
Bm                     F#m             
I got to find myself a strong deliverer
A                 E
I need a drink of something like water
Bm                D
I need a taste of love divine
A                        E
Sometimes you just gotta do what you oughtta
Bm                         D                      F#m
Sometimes you bring up the water when the well is dry

F#m  A  Bm  F#m  2x

F#m                          A
Gone out walking through the city tonight
Bm                              F#m
Sittin through the wreckage underneath the lights
F#m                    A
All you can do is pray with all your might
Bm                           F#m
There's a few thousand souls no where in sight
F#m                             A
It's hard to swing at something you can't see
Bm                               F#m
Sometimes we just don't know the enemy
F#m                A
Can't live by fear can't live by deception
Bm                            F#m
Hey I'm a man of peace with a few exceptions
A                 E
I need a drink of something like water
Bm                D
I need a taste of love divine
A                        E
Sometimes you just gotta do what you oughtta
Bm                         D                      F#m
Sometimes you bring up the water when the well is dry

F#m  A  Bm  F#m  2x

D       A
When the world starts shaking
        E                       Bm              D
And the walls are breaking down till nothing's left
     A                    E
Baby you're gonna need to hold onto something that is
D             F#m
Stronger than yourself
F#m                 A
Baby your eyes were wet with tears
Bm            F#m
Your skin was drenched in sorrow
F#m                  A
But you kiss was an open door
Bm                    F#m
So I walked thru to a new tomorrow
F#m                   A
Honey like a blade of finest steel
Bm                F#m
Yea like an arrow straight and true
F#m              A
Like gold in the hottest fire
Bm                      F#m 
Baby that is my love my love for you
A                 E
I need a drink of something like water
Bm                D
I need a taste of love divine
A                        E
Sometimes you just gotta do what you oughtta
Bm                         D                      F#m
Sometimes you bring up the water when the well is dry

F#m  A  Bm  F#m  4x
