The Poisoned Well

     F             C
"You only hurt the one you love."
Dm   F      Bb        Gm
That may be true, but better said:
     C             F   F#dim     G   G#dim
"You only hurt the one who loves you."


[Instrumental]
Am   F   D7   G G#dim
Am   F   D7   G G#dim
Am   F   D7   G G#dim
Am   F   D7   G G#dim
Am   F   D7   G G#dim
Am   F   D7   B


[Chorus]
Em              A7   C         Cm   G    G/F#
We went through hell just to get to hell -
Em               A7                C  Cm    G   G/F#
Die of thirst or drink up from the poisoned well
     Em            A7        C      Cm    G     G/F#
If I kept things inside, at least I never lied
Em                A7          C Cm G G/F#
I'm not trying to document my suicide
Em             A7                C            Cm   G    G/F#
You won't live long, but you may write the perfect song;
Em            A7                  C   Cm   G   Gmaj9
