CHORUS:

Am    C              F             E

Pain, without love.  Pain, I can't get enough.

Am      C

Pain, I like it rough.

F                                E  [etc.]

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all.

 

You're sick of feeling down.  You're not the only one.

I'll take you by the hand,

And I'll show you a world that you can understand.

 

This life is filled with hurt when happiness doesn't work.

Trust me and take my hand

When the lights go out you will understand.

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

 

Anger and agony are better than misery.

Trust me, I've got a plan.

When the lights go off you will understand.

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

E                                    F           E/G

I know (I know, I know, I know, I know) that you're wounded.

E                                              F       E/G

You know (You know, you know, you know) that I'm here to save you.

E                                                  F      E/G

You know (You know, you know, you know, you know) I'm always here for you.

E                                         F        E/G

I know (I know, I know, I know) that you'll thank me later.

 

CHORUS:   [3x]

 

F                      E

Rather feel pain than nothing at all.  [2x]

F            E

Rather feel pain...
