Pleasure Of The Pain chords by Fearless Vampire Killers

chorus:
Am          F
The pleasure of the pain
E        Am
Consumes all I feel
  D/Bm
It steals
      G
But what it leaves
    E    Am
Is a monster of me

Bm

verse:
C

In the back alley cabaret
F
Where the girls and the boys are claimed
   A         G
We'll find solace in the sticky floors
            F#
And the body heat of those aflame

    C
Is it wrong of me to feel so much
     A
In this climate of restraint
      F          Bm
With every bottle drained a disapproving glance
    G       Am
And god, I feel so ashamed

chorus:
A            F
But the pleasure of the pain
  E      Am
Consumes all I feel
  D
It steals
      G
But what it leaves
    Fm    Am
Is a monster of me

Bm

verse:
C

So I pack my regrets in chains
A              Bm
Head to where the ghosts congregate
Am           G
Under black and tragic empty skies
   D
They preach their madness could the dead tell lies?

     C
Cos I'm desperate to believe
   A          Dm
I'll take anything they give
                 Bm
I'm like a rabid dog, with suffocating rage
                    Am
But these cadavers say that they can stave

chorus:
A            F
But the pleasure of the pain
  E      Am
Consumes all I feel
  D
It steals
      G
But what it leaves
   Fm    Am
Is a monster of me

bridge:
C           E
  And from her lips she sung
         Am
A melody to die for
F
G           E
  And from my chest she drew
           C
A beating heart and stabbed it
              D
With the tweezers from her dresser

C         D
 The devotion you give
  Am     Dm
Down on aching knees
       C      G
Using your throat as a sieve
      A          Am
While the ghosts of your rejections
       G       D
Haunt the places you've forgotten

      G
And they'll say it was worth it
   B
Just for


chorus:
E           F
The pleasure of the pain
  E       Am
Consumes all I feel
  C
It steals
      G
But what it leaves
   C     Am
Is a monster of me
          F
No matter where I run
    A        Am
I can smell you on my skin
   D
Distinct
       D
But when I need your taste
  G       A     C
My body doesn't slake the thirst.
