VERSE 1:(Bass over)
E minorEm
I'm not sure,
D#/A#
What I'm looking for anymore.
E minorEm
I just know,
G+G
That I'm harder to console.
E minorEm
I don't see who I'm trying to be,
D#/A#
Instead of me.
E minorEm
But the key,
G+G
Is a question of control.

Can you say,
What you're trying to play anyway,
D#/A#
I just pay,
E minorEm
While you're breaking all the rules,
G+G
All the signs that I find.
E minorEm
Have been underlined,
D#/A#
Devils thrive on the drive.
E minorEm
That is fuelled.
CHORUS 1:
E minorEm
All this running around,
G+G
Well it's getting me down.
C/GC/G A augmentedA E minorEm
Just give me a pain that I'm used to.
I don't need to believe,
G+G
All the dreams you conceive.
C/GC/G
You just need to achieve,
A augmentedA E minorEm
Something that rings true.

VERSE 3: (Bass drone over)
E minorEm
There's a hole in your soul,
Like an animal.
D#/A#
With no conscience,
E minorEm
Repentance unknown.

Close your eyes,
E minorEm
Pay the price for your paradise.
D#/A#
Devils feed on the seeds,
E minorEm
That are sown.

Can't conceal what I feel,
What I know is real.
D#/A#
No mistaking the faking,
E minorEm
I care.

With a prayer in the air,
E minorEm
I will leave it there.

On a note full of hope,
E minorEm
Not despair.

NOTES:
1. ?A Pain That I'm Used To" is the second single and opening track of the album ?Playing the Angel?
by Depeche Mode, and the forty-second DM single overall. The single was released on 12 December 2005
by Mute Records. ...?

2. The music video is directed by Uwe Flade, who also directed the "Precious" single. It features
much more live action sequences (in a race track), than the "Precious" video and even David Gahan's
"Bottle Living" video. Depeche Mode's live drummer Christian Eigner also appears in the video.

3. This version, I believe is closest to capturing that original ?drone-like? quality of this song,
that is played live by DM, in opening tuning.
