The Cure for Pain
guitar chords lyrics
This isn't correct if you're trying to sing along with the album version, but I've
been covering this song with these chords for a while now and it sounds great.
Capo 4 (All chords relative to capo)
Intro (repeat 2X): C, G, D, Em (hammer on/off of the "a" string)
Verse I:
C
G D Em C
I'm not sure why it always goes downhill
G D Em
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
C
I've spent
Chorus I:
G D Em
Ten years singing gravity away
C G D Em
But the water keeps on falling from the sky
Verse II:
C
G D Em C
So here tonight while the stars are blacking out
G D Em
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
C
I've spent
Chorus II:
G D Em
Ten years trying to sing these doubts away
C G D
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes
C G D Em C
And heaven knows, heaven knows
G D
I tried to find a cure for the pain
C G D Em C
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
G D C
It would be a lie to run away
G, D, Em, C
Verse III:
G D Em C
So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
G D Em
We're either riders, or fools behind the reigns
C
I've spent
Chorus II
Bridge:
C
G D
It keeps on falling
Em C
It keeps on falling
G D
It keeps on falling
Em
It keeps on falling
C G D
And the water keeps on falling from my eyes
Chorus II
Ending:
C
G D C
It would be a lie to run away
