              Intro E A B E (8x)
 
E         E4              E                 C#m        B                           A
Happiness, it's been no friend to me but forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
         E               E4       E                      C#m         B             A
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy, but I allmost lost my faith when I hit reality
B
 I don't need no Guru to tell me what to do,
A 
 when your feeling like a headline on yesterday's news.
 
 
D
Come on, come on, come on
                           E   
Give me something for the pain,
A                          B
 Give me something for the blues
                           C#m
Give me something for the pain 
                       A                          B
when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose
                           E
Give me something for the pain,
A                        B
 Give me something I can use
          A                              B               E          A
To get me through the night, to make me feel alright something like you
Come on come on come on
 
 
E         E4           E 
Loneliness has found a home in me 
    C#m             B               A  
my suitcase and guitar are my only family
               E           E4          E
I've tried to need someone, like they needed me 
    C#m         B                A
I opened up my heart, but all I did was bleed
B
 I don't need no lover, just get screwed, 
A
 they don't make a bandage that's going to cover my bruise
 
Chorus
 
Solo 
(B A B A)
 
Verse 3
E E4 E C#m B A
E E4 E
Help I'm falling (pull me under through my veins to a place where I feel no pain)
C#m B A
Night is calling (be my pillow under my head when I'm in your bed)
E E4 E
Feels like I'm flying (take me higher than I've ever been take me down and back again)
C#m B A
Christ I'm dying (come to me, be my disguise open your coat, let me crawl inside)
come on come on come on
Gimme, gimme something for the pain, gimme gimme something for the blues
Gimme, gimme something for the pain, gimme
