Something In The Well

Capo:3rd fret

     Am                                     C                  G
Woke last night to that same sound, first I thought it was you breathing
F                                                C                       G
Got out of bed and went to the window, just as a cloud rushed 'cross the moon
Am                                 C             C                G
Baby baby there's something in the well, there's something in the well
 
       Am                                    C                    C                G
Lately I've been watching that corner of the field, out where the old black willow fell
F                                             C            G
Things can seem so safe and sure, but you can never really tell
Am                                 C               C              G     Am
Baby baby there's something in the well, something waiting in the well
 
      Am                                C               C               G
Now I boarded it up myself back a lotta years, it's too long a story to tell
          F                                   C                   G
There was no more sadness, no more tears, and since, I guarded it well
 
           Am                                C
Oh there's some secrets that should never be told
             C                          G
There's some words that should never be said
      F
Now I know there's things in this world baby
                   C            G
Should stay locked up forever inside our heads
Am                                 C             C                G    Am
Baby baby there's something in the well, there's something in the well
 
         F
Folks in town forgot, now they don't much care
                 C                        Am
See, quiet years passed but I could still feel it there
            F
Snow melted off the fields, summer crops came through
                C                 G
Still it stayed silent then I met you
 
     Am                              C                        G
Well last night darling I did sleep, naked on the dark spring ground
              F
Leaves in the trees came alive and spoke to me
                     C                      G
And I could feel the dirt 'neath me moving 'round
 
        Am                                                  C                       G
Hey the well was torn open and I stared down into the muddy darkness my black tears fell
      F                                           C                        G
Stars spread their false light on the earth, moon slipped from the sky and fell
 
       Am                        C               C                  G
And my love for you came rushing forward, and my fear and hatred as well
      F                                             C            G
Hell, things can seem so safe and sure, but you can never really tell
                         Am   C G F C G Am C G F
There's something in the well
