something for the pain

happiness, it’s been no friend to me

but forever after ain’t what it’s all cracked up to be

yeah, i had a taste, you were my fantasy

but i almost lost my faith when i hit reality

i don’t need no guru to tell me what to do

when your feeling like a headline on

yesterday’s news

come on, come on, come on

give me something for the pain

give me something for the blues

give me something for the pain when

i feel i’ve been danglin’ from a hang-man’s noose

give me something for the rain

give me something i can use

to get me through the night

make me feel all right

something like you

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 opened up my heart, but all i did was bleed

i don’t need no lover, just to get screwed

they don’t make a bandage, that’s going to cover my bruise

come on, come on, come on

give me something for the pain

give me something for the blues

give me something for the pain when

i feel i’ve been danglin’ from a hang-man’s noose

give me something for the rain

give me something i can use

to get me through the night

make me feel all right

something like you

pull me under (help i’m falling)

run through my veins (night is calling)

to a place (feels like i’m flying)

where i feel no pain (christ i’m dying)

be the pillow under my head

cover me when i’m in your bed

take me higher than i’ve ever been

take me down and back again

come to me, be my disguise

open your coat, let me crawl inside

come on, come on, come on

come on, come on, come on

give me something for the pain

give me something for the blues

give me something for the pain when

i feel i’ve been danglin’ from a hang-man’s noose

give me something for the rain

give me something i can use

to get me through the night

make me feel all right

something like you

give me something for the pain

give me something for the blues

give me something for the pain when

i feel i’ve been danglin’ from a hang-man’s noose

give me something for the rain

give me something i can use

to get me through the night

make me feel all right

something like you
