          AmThere's (x02210@1)a sacrifice you make
          EmThere (022000@1)are people along the way
             Dm (xx0231@1)                       AmWhen (x02210@1)there's nowhere to run and there's nowhere to stay
        AmAnd (x02210@1)the wheels still move
    EmBut (022000@1)won't slow down
Dm (xx0231@1)                             AmEven (x02210@1)when you're spinning in the same soft ground
              AmAnd (x02210@1)there's a tear in her eye
              EmBecause (022000@1)she's known you too long
        Dm (xx0231@1)                           AmAnd (x02210@1)she can't tell the singer from the whorehouse song

         AmWhen (x02210@1)the well runs dry
        CThere's (x32010@1)nothing left to say
     Dm (xx0231@1)                    AmJust (x02210@1)throw up your hands and wail all day
    AmAnd (x02210@1)everything's fair
              CAnd (x32010@1)you don't like it that way
DmSomething (xx0231@1)has to die
         AmWhen (x02210@1)the well runs dry

          AmThere's (x02210@1)a dancer I used to get
   EmBy (022000@1)giving her cigarettes
    Dm (xx0231@1)                        AmShe (x02210@1)told me that I hadn't quite hurt enough yet
     AmSo (x02210@1)I let her do me wrong
    EmBut (022000@1)not for very long
       Dm (xx0231@1)                        AmThen (x02210@1)I put her in the mirror and I put her in a song

         AmWhen (x02210@1)the well runs dry
        CThere's (x32010@1)nothing left to say
Dm (xx0231@1)                    AmThrow (x02210@1)up your hands and wail all day

DmSomething (xx0231@1)has to die
         AmWhen (x02210@1)the well runs dry

C (x32010@1)          Dm (xx0231@1)            AmSitting (x02210@1)here at the top your will is getting weak
C (x32010@1)        Dm (xx0231@1)              AmYou (x02210@1)let my mind get fattened up
C (x32010@1)     Dm (xx0231@1)        AmNow (x02210@1)I'm quiet and I ain't supposed to speak
C (x32010@1)        Dm (xx0231@1)               EmI'll (022000@1)speak up when I've had enough

  AmA (x02210@1)singer we used to know
   EmHe (022000@1)let himself go
       Dm (xx0231@1)            AmPlayed (x02210@1)15 minutes of a sold out show
    AmAnd (x02210@1)everybody laughed
       EmIn (022000@1)the aftermath
       DmAnd (xx0231@1)he never came back
      AmNo (x02210@1)he never came back
