Pleasure Of The Pain Cifras

[chorus]
Am                   F
The pleasure of the pain
E               Am
Consumes all I feel
    D/Bm
It steals
           G
But what it leaves
       E       Am
Is a monster of me
 
Bm
 
[verse]
C
In the back alley cabaret
F
Where the girls and the boys are claimed
     A                  G
We'll find solace in the sticky floors
                       F#
And the body heat of those aflame
 
       C
Is it wrong of me to feel so much
          A
In this climate of restraint
            F                   Bm
With every bottle drained a disapproving glance
        G             Am
And god, I feel so ashamed
 
[chorus]
A                        F
But the pleasure of the pain
   E            Am
Consumes all I feel
    D
It steals
           G
But what it leaves
       Fm       Am
Is a monster of me
 
Bm
 
[verse]
C
 
So I pack my regrets in chains
A                           Bm
Head to where the ghosts congregate
Am                     G
Under black and tragic empty skies
      D
They preach their madness could the dead tell lies?
 
         C
Cos I'm desperate to believe
      A                    Dm
I'll take anything they give
                                  Bm
I'm like a rabid dog, with suffocating rage
                                        Am
But these cadavers say that they can stave
 
[chorus]
A                       F
But the pleasure of the pain
   E            Am
Consumes all I feel
    D
It steals
           G
But what it leaves
      Fm        Am
Is a monster of me
 
[bridge]
C                     E
   And from her lips she sung
                 Am
A melody to die for
F
G                     E
   And from my chest she drew
                     C
A beating heart and stabbed it
                            D
With the tweezers from her dresser
 
C                 D
  The devotion you give
    Am          Dm
Down on aching knees
             C            G
Using your throat as a sieve
           A                    Am
While the ghosts of your rejections 
              G             D
Haunt the places you've forgotten
 
            G
And they'll say it was worth it
     B
Just for
 
 
[chorus]
E                      F
The pleasure of the pain
   E             Am
Consumes all I feel
   C
It steals
           G
But what it leaves
      C         Am
Is a monster of me
                   F
No matter where I run
       A               Am
I can smell you on my skin
     D
Distinct
             D
But when I need your taste
    G             A         C
My body doesn't slake the thirst.
