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* c#m B A
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy, but I allmost lost my faith when I hit reality
B A
I don't need no Guru to tell me what to do, when your feeling like a headline on yesterday's news.

Chorus
Come on, come on, come on
E A B
Give me something for the pain, Give me something for the blues
E A B
Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose
E A B
Give me shelter from the rain, something I can use
A B E A
To get me through the night, to make me feel alright some pill like you
Come on come on come on

Verse 2
Loneliness has found a home in me my suitcase and guitar are my only family
I've tried to need someone, like they needed me I opend up my heart, but all I did was bleed
I don't need no lover, just get screwed, they don't make a bandage that's going to cover my bruise

Chorus

Help I'm falling (pull me under through my veins to a place where I feel no pain)
