Bm                      D
There is whisky in the water
A                            E
And there is death upon the vine
Bm                                 D
There is fear in the eyes of your father
A                                  Bm
And there is "Yours" and there is "Mine"

There is a desert veiled in pavement
And there's a city of seven hills
All our debris flows to the ocean
To meet again, I hope it will

Chorus:
     G6         D       A
How could something so fair
       Bm
Be so cruel
      G6         D     A
When this black sun revolved
        Bm
Around you!

There is an answer in a question
And there is hope within despair
And there is beauty in a failure
And there are depths beyond compare

There is a role of a lifetime
And there's a song yet to be sung
And there's a dumpster in the driveway
Of all the plans that came undone

Chorus - x2

There is whiskey in the water
And there is death upon the vine
And there is grace within forgiveness
But it's so hard for me to find

Chorus - x2
