_ [D] _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D]
Serenade a [C] bird's-eye view, _ [F] _ [D] _ [G] to fell prey to the [C] blade of fifty men,
[D] _ [G] With a heart and a sword he'd rather match, _ _ For a chance to see [C]
Roxanne's eyes lit up
[F] the sky [D] again.
[G] From [D] beauty kind and [C] full of grace, _ [G] _ Again [D] denied [C] to paste her hand,
[Am] _ _ [G] The [D] beast he'd [C] turn and hit his face, [D] _ [G] And [D] try without his [C] mind a magic to [D] understand,
And once [G] upon a time, [D] you know I used to wonder [C] why,
You [D] don't know what [G] you need to cry, In pain of [D] a heart prepared [C] to fly,
[D] But to [G] learn to say goodbye, You [D] can't do it for [C] a mere death's cry.
_ [Am] Sweet pain, [C] can't you [G] plainly see, _ [Am] Sweet [C] pain, you know it [G] matters to me,
_ [Am] Sweet pain, [C] won't you make me [G] feel at home, _ [Am] Sweet pain, [C] don't you bury [D] me alone.
_ _ [G] _

_ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ [G] _
[D] Sometimes a life that seems [C] hard to take, [F] _ [D] _ [G] _
[D] Soothes for a [C] while, I had no [Am] [Dm] friends,
[G] _ [D] Leaving a bad need [C] in its wake, [F] _ [G] _ Sad [D] are some [C] friendships,
Never ever seem to end, [F] _ [G] _ [D] But all that we hear are [C] _ [F] waves,
[D] _ [G] _ [D] Songs and a dream I left [C] for me, [F] _ [G] _ [D] What did them mean that [C]
suicide,
[F] _ [D] _ [G] Some [D] lengthy friendship, [C] And a dream that we could be,
[D] And this ended [G] in a crime, [D] With [C] more than they could bear,
[D] You know they did not [G] even care, [D] And they might have [C] something there,
[D] But I'm here [G] and I don't see [D] where, All I hear is [C] a silent prayer, _
[Am] Sweet pain, [C] is it so [G] terribly wrong, _ [Am] Sweet pain, [C] don't want to [G] come along, _
[Am] Sweet pain, [C] won't you make [G] me smile, _ [A] Sweet pain, [C] it's [D] only for _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _
[G] _ a [D] [G] while.

_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] Sings
Seems _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ [C]
like my life [G] _ is [F] coming to an end, I can't [C] feel,
I can't feel, [F] I'm in a [C] state of pain [G] every day.
I've _ [F] been feeling [C] the same for years.
[F]
I'm just [C] around and I'm making, [G] making it for you.
_ _ [F] _
[C] You know what time it's [F] at,
and the song that I need [C] to tell you
makes [G] me often pray for [C] you, _ [F] _ [D] _ [G] _
[D] for [C] you.
_ [F] _ [G] _
In no [D] position [C] to give advice,
[F] _ [G] _ my [D] heart spoke and I [C] wrote it down.
[B] _ [G] _ You know every [D] wisdom [C] has a price.
[F] _ [D] _ [G] My head up [D] in the stars and my [C] feet planted firmly
[F] on the ground.
[G] _ When will [D] I embrace [C] this life I see?
[B] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] Being [C] forced alone, _ [B] _ [G] _ thinking [D] back what [C] truth may be.
[F] _ [D] _ [G] _ [D] I've been laughing, [C]
living all [D] alone.
What [G] cost of time, [D] when it did not come [C] for free?
[D] You and [G] I have been freed.
[D] And now the [C] time you need,
[D] to [G] go away and look key,
[D] everything that [C] we both agreed. _
[Am] Sweet pain, [C] tell [G] me what you need. _
[Am] Sweet pain, [C] if that was the [G] blood you bleed. _
[A] Sweet pain, [C] from the moment [G] of your birth. _
[Am] Sweet pain, [C] you can't sit [D] here all _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _
[F] night.
Hey, [C] hey, hey, hey, hey, [F] hey, [C] hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
