[Verse 1]
[G]If[D][C][F][Dm][D][G][D][C][F][Dm][G]
[D][C][F][Dm][G][D]
[C]Cyr[F]ano[Dm] de [D]Berg[G]erac[D][C][F][Dm]
[G]Fell prey to the bla[D]des of fifty men[C][F]
[G]With a heart and a swo[D]rd he'd drive
them [C]back[F][D]
[G]Perchance to see Rox[D]anne's
[C]eyes light up the sky again
[F]And [Dm]when[D] bea[G]uty kind[D]
and full of [C]grace[F][Dm][G]
Again [D]denied the beast her [C]hand[F][Dm]
[G]The beast he [D]turned and hid his fac[C]e[F][Dm]
[G]And tried with all[D] his might and
ma[C]gic to understand
And [D]once upon a

[Verse 2]
[G]time
You know I [D]used to wonder [C]why
You know no [D]one should need to [G]cry
In pain of a [D]heart forbade to [C]fly
But you [D]learn to say good[G]bye
As you [D]whisper beneath a [C]sigh

[Verse 3]
Sweet [Am]pain
[C]Can't you plainly [G]see?
Sweet [Am]pain
You know it [C]matters to [G]me
Sweet [Am]pain
Won't you [C]make me feel at [G]home?
Sweet [Am]pain
Don't you [C]dare leave me [D]alone

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][C][F][Dm][G][D][C]
[F][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[G]Sometimes a life tha[D]t
seems hard to [C]take[F][Dm]
[G]Is soothed for a whi[D]le by an
old [C]friend[F][Dm][G]
Leaving a bad [D]need in its [C]wake[F][Dm][D]
[G]Sad how[D], some friendships
never [C]ever seem [F]to end[Dm]
[G]Well all of my heroes[D] up and die[C]d[F][Dm]
[G]Songs and a dre[D]am are left for me[C][F][Dm]
[G]What did them in [D], not suicid[C]e[F][Dm]
[G]Just a lengthy friendshi[D]p and a
[C]dream of how it could be
And [D]isn't it a

[Verse 5]
[G]crime?
Was it [D]more than they could [C]bear?
You know they [D]did not even [G]care
At all and they [D]might
have something [C]there
But I'm [D]here and I don't see [G]where
All I [D]hear is their silent [C]prayer

[Verse 6]
Sweet [Am]pain
[C]Is it so terribly [G]wrong?
Sweet [Am]pain
To [C]want to come [G]along
Sweet [Am]pain
Won't you [C]make me [G]smile?
Sweet [Am]pain
If [C]only for a [D]while

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][D][C][F][Dm][D][G][D][C]
[F][Dm][D][G][D][C][F][Dm][G][D][C][F][Dm]

[D][C][F][Dm][G][D][C][F][C]
[F][C][G][F][C][F][C]
[G]
[F]Can

[Verse 7]
you feel [C]what I feel?
[F]So we can establish [C]that the pain is [G]real
[F]Don't be afraid [C]and I'll do the same
for you
[F]And we'll just hang on and we'll [C]make it,
make it [G]through
[F]There's got to be a reason
it works [C]out this way
And there's [F]something deep inside me
That [C]makes me have to [G]play
For [D]you[C][F][Dm][G]
For [D]you[C][F][Dm]

[Verse 8]
[G]In no positio[D]n to give adv[C]ice[F][Dm]
[G]My heart it [D]spoke and I wrote it dow[C]n[F][Dm]
[G]And you know every wis
[D]dom has its [C]price[F][Dm]
[G]My head up in the sta[D]rs
And my feet [C]planted firmly
on [F]the ground[Dm]
[G]When will I embrace thi[D]s
life [C]I see?[F][Dm][G]
I've been won[D]dering for so [C]long[F][Dm]
[G]Thinking back, t[D]he truth may be[C][F][Dm]
[G]I've been unawa[D]re but I've
been liv[C]ing it all along
And it [D]didn't cost

[Verse 9]
a [G]dime
And it [D]did not come for [C]free
It just [D]would not let me be
[G]But it never con[D]quered me[C]
Just a [D]doorway [G]and a key
[D]And I think that we both [C]agree
Sweet [Am]pain Is [C]sometimes

[Verse 10]
[G]
what you need
Sweet [Am]pain
It [C]allows the blood to [G]bleed
Sweet [Am]pain
From the [C]moment of your [G]birth
Sweet [Am]pain
You know it [C]keeps you here [D]on Earth
