Song:Pleasure and pain
Artist: Joey Tempest
This is the way I play it:
Intro: (Bass notes) E–E-G-E-E-G-E-D-D-A-C-A-C-A (2x)
|Em D Am|Em D Am|Em D Am|Em D Am|
Em D Dsus4 D Am
I hate it when you wander,
Em D Dsus4 D Am
So sensual and free
Em D Dsus4 D Am
And I hate it when you're psychic,
Em D Dsus4 D Am
With things I cannot see
Em D Dsus4 D Am
I hate it when you lead on,
Em D Dsus4 D Am
Like you know which way to go
Em D Dsus4 D Am
And I hate it when you stumble,
Em D Dsus4 D Am
And you never touch the floor…
C D Dsus4 D G
A pathological liar,
C D Dsus4 D G
I’m fallin' again
C D Dsus4 D G
With a flood of desire,
C D Em D Am|Em D Am
I walk the line, between pleasure and pain…
Em D Dsus4 D Am
I hate it when you're lying,
Em D Dsus4 D Am
So close to me at night
Em D Dsus4 D Am
And I hate the way you whisper,
Em D Dsus4 D Am
Sweet words into my mouth
Em D Dsus4 D Am
Yet a woman be the reason,
Em D Dsus4 D Am
A woman be the light,
Em D Dsus4 D Am
A woman be the colour,
Em D Dsus4 D Am
If faith would be my sight…
C D Dsus4 D G
I'm a man of contradiction,
C D Dsus4 D G
With a heart so restrained,
C D Dsus4 D G
So afraid of commitment,
C D Em D Am Em D
I walk the line, between pleasure and pain...
G
It may take one lifetime
D
Or it may take one day
C
For me to find the courage,
G D
Not to walk away
G
If this is all that matters,
D
If this is all we know,
C
If enlightenment is our journey,
Bm (let ring) Em D Am Em
It will never ever… let us go
D
(Never let us go)
Solo: Em D Am|Em D Am|Em D Am|Em D Am
Em D Am
I hate the way you want me,
Em D Am
Passion in your eyes
Em D Am
I struggle and I reason,
Em D Am
"This couldn't possibly be right."
Am Em D Am
And I fight you with armour,
Am Em
And I fight you with fear,
Am Em
So afraid of what I would find out,
Am Em
If I would let your heart come near…
C D Dsus4 D G
I believe in redemption,
C D Dsus4 D G
For a fool's domain
C D Dsus4 D G
And I ask for forgiveness,
C D
I walk the line,
Em D Am Em D
Between pleasure and pain,
Am Em D Am Em D Am
Between pleasure and pain,
C (let ring) D (let ring)
I walk the line...
Em (let ring)
Between pleasure and pain...
I hope it isn't too disappointing!
Have fun!!!
