How [G] can
[F#m] something so fair [A] be [B] so cruel [G] when this [F#m] black sun [A] revolves [Bm] around you?
[A] [E]
[Bm] There is an [A] answer and a question, and there is hope within [E] despair.
[Bm] And there is [A] beauty in a failure, [E] and there are depths beyond [B] compare.
There is a [A] role of a lifetime, [E] and there's a song yet to be sung.
[Bm] And there's a [A] dumpster in the driveway [E] of all the plans that came [Bm] undone.
How could
[F#m] something so fair be [B] so cruel [G] when this [D] black sun [A] revolves [Bm] around you?
[A] [E]
[B]
[A] [E]
[B] There is [A] whiskey in the water, and there is [E] death upon the vine.
