POISON IN THE WELL
As recorded by Taylor Austin Dye
(2024 release)



[Intro]
N.C.                                            Em
It all starts with a whisper on the devil's telephone


[Verse 1]
Em
You don't gotta watch the news
Em
Just sit down and place your order
Em
Specials up on that chalkboard
Em
And something's brewing in that corner
              A
They pour the coffee and get their tea
        G      D       Em
But you didn't hear it from me


[Verse 2]
Em
That sugar in his cup
Em
Ain't the only thing he's stirring up
Em
Says he saw my cousin Kelly
Em
Get out of someone else's truck
           A
She looked tired and she looked sweaty
        G       D/F#      Em
And her husband gets back this week
        A              G    N.C.
But you didn't hear it from me


[Chorus]
Em
Drink it up like water
G
Come and get your fill
      A
These tales keep getting taller
Em
Run that rumor mill
Em
You know what you do when you assume
           G
Before you even know the truth
A                          Em D      G   Em
Every lie you tell is like poison in the well


[Verse 3]
Em
Word got back round to her husband
Em
Now he's taking her to court
Em
He ain't buying what she's selling
Em
Now he's filing for divorce
             A
I heard he's taking everything
        G      D/F#    Em
But you didn't hear it from me


[Verse 4]
Em
Well, here's what really happened
Em
It's not what you all believed
Em
Her tire blew out on 30
Em
And she was wrenching in that heat
               A
A truck pulled up, said jump in
          G                A
Cause I'm headed where you live


[Chorus]
Em
Drink it up like water
G
Come and get your fill
      A
These tales keep getting taller
Em
Run that rumor mill
Em
You know what you do when you assume
           G
Before you even know the truth
A                          Em D      G   Em
Every lie you tell is like poison in the well


[Guitar Solo]
Em   G   A    Em
G   A   Em D G Em


[Bridge]
Em
That fire don't need stoked
N.C.
So keep those loose lips closed
N.C.
It all starts with a whisper on the devil's telephone


[Chorus]
Em
Drink it up like water
G
Come and get your fill
      A
These tales keep getting taller
Em
Run that rumor mill
Em
You know what you do when you assume
           G
Before you even know the truth
A                          Em D      G   Em
Every lie you tell is like poison in the well


[Outro]
Em                   N.C.
It all starts with a whisper in the devil's telephone
