[D]
[C]
[G] [D]
[C] [F] [D]
[G] I still [D] know the [C] Persian Red
[Dm]
[G] I [Bm] pray that way to [C] festive men
[F] [D]
[G] With a heart and [D] a sword and a [C] drop of blood
[D]
[G] A chance to [D] see a rock chance, [C] eyes up the sky [F]
again
[D] [G] Beauty [D]
kind for [C] all to see
[F]
[D] [G] Again
[D] deny the [C] beast in him
[Am] [G] The beast [D] he taught in [C] his days
[F] [D] [G]
Try [D] with all your might [C] and manner just to understand
[D] What's upon [G] his side
[D] You know he's [C] doing better, right?
You know, you know you should [G] need to cry
Pain, [D] a heart [C] forbid to fly
[D] But you learn to say [G]
goodbye
As [D] you look him [C] beneath his eyes
[Am] Sweet pain, [C] can't you [G] plainly see
Sweet [Am] pain, [C] no matter
[G] Sweet
[Am] pain, [C] won't you make me feel [G] at home
[A] Sweet pain, won't [C] you dare leave [D] me alone
[A] [G] [A] [D]
[C] [F] [D]
[G] Sometimes in [D] life it seems hard [C] to take
[D]
[G] [D] Sooth for a while, but ain't [C] no phrase
[Am]
[G] [A] Leave it, but I need [C] it this way
[F]
[D] [G] [D] Saddest of friendships
[C] Never seem to win, never [F] [D] miss
[G] When all [D] of our heroes have [C] been dead
[D] [G]
Songs [D] of a dream [C] left for me
[F] [G]
Well, did it [D] ever mean not suicide?
[G]
Was it life, [D] then friendship, [C] and a dream where we could be
[D] And did it seem to [G] the crime
[D] Was it more than [C] they could bear?
You [D] know they did not [G] even care
[D] And they might have [C] something there
[D] And here and [G] elsewhere
All [D] I hear is a [C] silent prayer
Sweet [A] pain,
[C] is it so [G] terribly wrong
Sweet [Am]
pain, [C] do I [G] come along
Sweet [A] pain, [C] won't you make me [G] smile
Sweet [Am] pain,
[C] if only [D] for a
[G]
[D] [C]
while
Yeah, [F] yeah, [C]
[G] yeah
Yeah, yeah, [F] [C]
[Fm]
[Am] [C] [G] yeah
Can
[F] you feel [C] what I can feel
[F] To [C] establish that love can't [G] be real
[F]
Don't be [C] afraid of the same dream
[F] It will be [C] alright, man, when I make [G] it
[Gm]
There's [F] gotta be a reason it went [C] down this way
[F] There's something [C] inside me that makes me [G] have to play
[D]
[C]
[G] No [Eb] position to [C] give advice
[F]
[D] [G] [D] Heart is broken, [C] I look down
[F] [D] [G]
[D] [C]
[D] [G]
My head up in [D] the stars and my [C]
feet planted firmly on the [Am] ground
[G]
What a way I [D] embrace this [C] life I see
[Fm] [E]
[G] [D] I've been wondering for [C] a while
[F]
[D] [G] [A] Thinking [D] about what the [C] truth may be
[F] [Gm]
I [D] ain't a good lawyer, [C] but I've been living hard all along
[D] And it didn't [G] cost a dime, no
[D] And it did not come [C] for free
[D] And it's gonna [G] have to be
[D] But it never comes [C] from me
Just [D] a doorman [G] and a key
And [D] I need to be with [C] both of thee
[Am] Sweet pain, [C] sometimes [G] what you need
[Am] Sweet pain, [C] it allows for what [G] you need
[E] Sweet [Am] pain, [D] in the moment [G] of your pain
[Am] Sweet pain,
[C] you can't see [D] here on earth
[G]
[D]
[C]
[G]
[B]
Sweet pain, sweet [N] pain
