This is from their live performance at NPR Music Tiny Desk. [Intro] Bm D E5 Esus2 Bm D E5 Bm [Verse]
Bm                     D
There is whisky in the water

E5                           Esus2
And there is death upon the vine

Bm                                D
There is fear in the eyes of your father

E5                                 Bm
And there is "Yours" and there is "Mine"

Bm                          D
There is a desert veiled in pavement

E5                           Esus2
And there's a city of seven hills

Bm                              D
And all our debris flows to the ocean

E5                        Bm
To meet again, I hope it will
[Chorus]
G            Bm/F#       A
How could something so fair

      Bm
Be so cruel

G               Bm/F#    A
When this black sun revolved

        Bm
Around you!
Bm D E5 Esus2 [Verse]
Bm                       D
There is an answer in a question

E5                         Esus2
And there is hope within despair

Bm                        D
And there is beauty in a failure,

E5                           Bm
And there are depths beyond compare

Bm                       D
There is a role of a lifetime

E5                           Esus2
And there's a song yet to be sung

Bm                              D
And there's a dumpster in the driveway

E5                          Bm
Of all the plans that came undone
[Chorus]
G            Bm/F#       A
How could something so fair

      Bm
Be so cruel

G               Bm/F#    A
When this black sun revolved

        Bm
Around you!

G            Bm/F#       A
How could something so fair

      Bm
Be so cruel

G               Bm/F#    A
When this black sun revolved

        Bm
Around you!
[Verse]
Bm                     D
There is whisky in the water

E5                          Esus2
And there is death upon the vine

Bm                           D
And there is grace within forgiveness

E5                          Bm
But it's so hard for me to find
[Chorus]
G            Bm/F#       A
How could something so fair

      Bm
Be so cruel

G               Bm/F#    A
When this black sun revolved

        Bm
Around you!

G            Bm/F#       A
How could something so fair

      Bm
Be so cruel

G               Bm/F#    A
When this black sun revolved

        Bm
Around you!
