------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIFE IN THE PAIN - Safetysuit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Owen Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard
Chords Used:
EADGBe C#7* |x46600| B9* |x24400| E |079900| OR |022100| A9* |x02200|
I'm pretty sure that SafetySuit uses the first E chord |079900| that is shown, but when I was first figuring out the song I thought it was the |022100|. In fact, I bet they use both at some point. But honestly, I still like the way |022100| sounds, and that's the way I play it. You can use whichever you makes you happy :)
(note: if you like using the |079900| E, then you can try playing A9 like this to make the chorus easier: |577x00| sounds exactly the same)
(note for reading this tab: I put all the fancy names for the different chords, but all you really need to pay attention to is the first letter; that tells you where to put your hand. The rest is just technical mumbo-jumbo)
Listen to song for strum pattern, it's pretty straightforward
INTRO: | C#* B9* E E :|| (played 4x on the guitar on the album)
-VERSE 1-
C#7* B9* E Now you don't have a purpose
C#7* B9* E You don't let anybody in
C#7* B9* E You don't understand why she don't love you
C#7* B9* E But you don't understand yourself
C#7* B9* E Now you're out there with no target
C#7* B9* E So your friends become your aim
C#7* B9* E But there is no one left around you
C#7* B9* E So there is no one left to blame
-CHORUS-
A9* E And what you don't know, it won't hurt you
A9* E And what you don't know will save you from some pain
C#7* B9* E But if I could choose, oh, I'd let it hurt you
C#7* B9* E Cause there's something 'bout life in the pain
-VERSE 2-
C#7* B9* E Now there's something inside you stirring
C#7* B9* E Like there's a fight coming your way
C#7* B9* E But there'll be no fists you'll be throwing
C#7* B9* E Just some words you've got to say
C#7* B9* E And you'll scream for our repentance
C#7* B9* E Or you'll hide behind what's fake
C#7* B9* E But there ain't nothing to forgiveness
C#7* B9* E You give as freely as you take
-CHORUS-
A9* E And what you don't know, it won't hurt you
A9* E And what you don't know will save you from some pain
C#7* B9* E But if I could choose, oh, I'd let it hurt you
C#7* B9* E Cause there's something 'bout life in the pain
-BRIDGE-
A9* C#7* B9* And I don't need to know your stories
A9* C#7* B9* Don't need to understand your pain
A9* C#7* B9* Cause I've been here since the beginning
A9* C#7* B9* And I'll be here the rest of the way
A9* C#7* B9* And I'll be here the rest of the way
-VERSE 3-
C#7* B9* E Now you've tried your hand at running
C#7* B9* E Why don't you try your hand at faith?
C#7* B9* E Cause there's a moment to be taken
C#7* B9* E (hold E extra long here) But it is right before you break
-CHORUS-
A9* E And what you don't know, it won't hurt you
A9* E And what you don't know will save you from some pain
C#7* B9* E But if I could choose, oh, I'd let it hurt you
C#7* B9* E Cause there's something 'bout life in the pain
C#7* B9* E Cause there's something 'bout life in the pain
C#7* B9* E Cause there's something 'bout life..... in the pain
