Precious Pain chords
Melissa Etheridge 1988 (Melissa Etheridge Album)

C Am

C                       Am
Everybody's got a hunger

No matter where they are
C                                 Am
Everybody clings to their own fear

Everybody hides some scar

F
Oooooooo
         Am
precious pain
F                               Am
Empty and cold but it keeps me alive
  F                       Am         
I gave it my soul so that I could survive
F                        G
Keeping me safe in these chains
F        Am F
Precious pain

C                       Am
Everybody's got a reason

To abandon their plan
C                           Am
How can I think of tomorrow

With my sorrow in hand?

F
Oooooooo
         Am
precious pain
F                               Am
Empty and cold but it keeps me alive
  F                       Am         
I gave it my soul so that I could survive
F                        G
Keeping me safe in these chains
F        Am F
Precious pain

Break F Am . .

     Dm
Each road that I walk down
  Em
Reminds me of you
     F
This whole town is haunted
         Am       F        G
There'll never be anything new

G
Oooooooo
F        Am
precious pain
F                               Am
Empty and cold but it keeps me alive
  F                       Am         
I gave it my soul so that I could survive
F                        G
Keeping me safe in these chains
F        Am F
Precious pain

G     Am
Oooooooo . . .
