E             G#m                     A                B
You sit still inside a well where you wish all will be well.
E               G#m              A               B
You're silently dreaming what no tongue can ever tell.
E                   A               E                   A
This is the well of loneliness, oh, this is the well of loneliness
    E             A               E                A
And oh, of broken promises, where you have decided nothing changes.
E              G#m                    A              B
I once thought fame and romance could drag me out of hell,
E                  G#m                   A               B
but they have only chained me here, in a lifelike prison cell.
E              G#m           A    B
They are many, we are few.
E                     G#m          A    B
There's not much that we can do.
E    C#m        B       E       C#m         B
In a well of no hoping, there's no point in hoping.
E    C#m        B                  E             B           A
In a well of no hoping, there's no hope, there's no point in hoping.

E                   A               E                   A
This is the well of loneliness, oh, this is the well of loneliness
    E              A              E                 A
And oh, of broken promises, where you have decided nothing changes.
E                G#m           A                B
They promised me paradise if I fell under their spell.
E                   G#m      A              B
Glazed-eyed passive citizens suit them very well.
E                   A               E                   A
This is the well of loneliness, oh, this is the well of loneliness
    E              A              E                 A
And oh, of broken promises, where you have decided nothing changes.
E                    G#m           A                B
Could these sleepers ever wake, or have we come too late?
E                     G#m              A                 B
They have done such a good job on them down there in the well.
E              G#m                A                B
They are many, we are few  (I see no way up, I see no way out).
E                     G#m              A                B
There's not much that we can do (I see no way up, I see no way out).
E    C#m        B       E       C#m         B
In a well of no hoping, there's no point in hoping.
E    C#m        B                  E             B           A 
In a well of no hoping, there's no hope, there's no point in hoping.(x2)
