[CHORUS]
C G Am
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, oh yeah
Dm Am G
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life
C G Am
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure everybody knows
Dm Am G
One day we love each other then we're fighting one another all the time
[VERSE 1]
C G
When I was young and just getting started
A# F
And people talked to me they sounded broken hearted
C G
Then I grew up and got my imagination
A# A7
And all I wanted was to start a new relation
Dm Gm
So in love but love had a bad reaction
F A#
I was looking for some good old satisfaction
F G
But pain is all I got when all I needed was some love and affection
[CHORUS]
C G Am
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, oh yeah
Dm Am G
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life
G7
Pain and pleasure
[BRIDGE]
A# Am F G A#7
When your plans go wrong and you turn out the light
A# Am F G A#7
But inside of your mind you have to put up a fight
[VERSE 2]
C G
Where are the answers that we're all searching for
A# F
There's nothing in this world to be sure of anymore
C G
Somedays you're feeling good, somedays you're feeeling bad
A# A
But if you're feeling happy someone else is always sad
Dm A#
Let the sweetness of love wipe the tears from your face
Am A# F G
For better for worse, so let's make the best of the rest of our years
