[Am]Shock, disbe[F]lief stained the [G]blackest of [Am]mornings
[Am]Lost in a [F]scene from this [G]nightmare come [E]true
[Am]This wasn't [F]meant to be the [G]end of the [Am]story
[F]Now that it's [G]done, [F]the pain lingers on in the world

Pre-verse:
Am, Dm, Am, G (2x)

Verse 1:
[Am]Life was an e[G]motional knife
It cut the [Em]flesh, it hit the [F]bone
It made re[G]ality a [Am]web of lies
[Am]Life was a per[G]petual high
Up on the [Em]wire without a [F]net
He couldn't [G]balance so he [Am]took a dive

Pre-chorus 1:
[F]When Vegas [C]called he got the [G]message far a[Am]way
[F]They begged this [C]worn out king to [G]play
[F]The mighty [C]fall, inside the [G]measure of the [Am]day
[F]It's piti[C]ful, it's all in [E]vain

Chorus 1:
[Am]Shock, disbe[F]lief stained the [G]blackest of [Am]mornings
[Am]Lost in a [F]scene from this [G]nightmare come [E]true
[Am]This wasn't [F]meant to be the [G]end of the [Am]story
[F]Now that it's [G]done, [F]the pain lingers on in the world

Pre-verse 2x
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bob_catley/the_pain_crd.html )
Verse 2:
[Am]Life and its un[G]bearable fire
The night his [Em]mother passed a[F]way
He poured his [G]soul into her [Am]funeral pyre
[Am]Life, through unfor[G]gettable eyes
For though he [Em]tried to face the [F]dark
He lost the [G]battle but he [Am]never dies

Pre-chorus 2:
[F]He had it [C]all somehow he [G]let it slip a[Am]way
[F]Much of his [C]death is unex[G]plained
[F]Now just a [C]memory shines [G]out beyond the [Am]grave
[F]Remembers [C]all that now [E]remains

Chorus 2:
[Am]Shock, disbe[F]lief stained the [G]blackest of [Am]mornings
[Am]Lost in a [F]scene from this [G]nightmare come [E]true
[Am]This wasn't [F]meant to be the [G]end of the [Am]story
[F]Now that it's [G]done, [F]the pain lingers on in the [G]world
[F]Lingers on in the [G]world... oh!

Chorus 3:
[Am]Shock, disbelief stained the blackest of mornings
Lost in a scene from this nightmare come true
[Am]This wasn't meant to be the end of the story
Now that it's done, [F]the pain lingers on in the world
