Intro:  Em  D G  Em  D G    Em  D G  D Em  D G

D    Em
I'm hidden in the scream
  D       G           D G  D G
When the virgin dies
D       Em
I'm the ache in the belly
  D        G          D G  D G
When your baby cries
             Am         Em
And I'm the burnin' sensation
          C  C/B   D
When the convict fries
 
     Em   D G
I'm pain
     D    Em   D G
I'm your pain
       D     Em  D G
Unspeakable pain
             D    Em  D G
I'm your private pain 

And I'm the compound fracture
In the twisted car
And I'm the lines on the face
Of the tramp at the bar
And I'm the reds by the bed
Of the suicide star 

You know me - I'm pain
I'm your pain
Your own private pain
Unfathomable pain 
 
               B              Em
    And it's a compliment to me
                   B  Em      F#   Em  Am   E Am  
    To hear you screamin' through the night
    G    C    G C 
    All night
     E Am    E Am  G C
    Tonight  

I'm the holes in your arm
When you're feeling the shakes
I'm the lump on your head
When you step on the rake 

And I'm the loudest one laughing
At the saddest wake 

Yes I'm pain
I'm just pain
Dear old pain
You need your pain 

Solo as Chorus

And I'm the loudest one laughing
At the saddest wake 

I'm the salt in the sweat
On the cuts of the slaves
I was the wound in the side
While Jesus prayed
I was the filthiest word
At the vandalized grave 

Yes, pain
Do you love me pain
I love my pain
I'm your pain 

               B              Em
    And it's a compliment to me
                   B  Em      F#   Em  Am  -> slide from Am to Dm
    To hear you screamin' through the night
    All night
    Tonight
