B/E |024440| (optional flourish in bridge)
I'm not sure why all the chords posted on this one have been so off (especially
for the bridge) when the song is so incredibly straightforward, but I believe this
to be far more accurate to the album.
About the only tricky part at all is in the bridge after "and I don't need to know
your stories". There's an option there to add a B/E chord, and I recommend doing
so if you can get it down. This is easily accomplished with tapping on and off
the b string by playing the Esus2 chord above with the following fingering:
a string, index
d string, middle
g string, ring
b string, pinky
I know that sounds complex, but if you listen to the album, the timing is very
easy and the fingering isn't difficult once you get it down. Enjoy!
INTRO: E6, Esus2, E5 (x4)
-VERSE 1-
Now you don't have a purpose
You don't let anybody in
You don't understand why she don't love you
But you don't understand yourself
Now you're out there with no target
So your friends become your aim
But there is no one left around you
So there is no one left to blame
-CHORUS-
ch /ch
And what you don't know, it won't hurt you
ch /ch
And what you don't know will save you from some pain
But if I could choose, oh, I'd let it hurt you
Cause there's something 'bout life in the pain
-VERSE 2-
Now there's something inside you stirring
Like there's a fight coming your way
But there'll be no fists you'll be throwing
Just some words you've got to say
And you'll scream for our repentance
Or you'll hide behind what's fake
But there ain't nothing to forgiveness
You give as freely as you take
-CHORUS-
ch /ch
And what you don't know, it won't hurt you
ch /ch
And what you don't know will save you from some pain
But if I could choose, oh, I'd let it hurt you
Cause there's something 'bout life in the pain
-BRIDGE-
ch /ch ch /ch ch /ch
And I don't need to know your stories
ch /ch ch /ch ch /ch
Don't need to understand your pain
ch /ch ch /ch ch /ch
Cause I've been here since the beginning
ch /ch
And I'll be here the rest of the way
ch /ch ch /ch
A5/E E6 E5 (or B/E if you prefer)
And I'll be here the rest of the way
-VERSE 3-
Now you've tried your hand at running
Why don't you try your hand at faith?
Cause there's a moment to be taken
E6 Esus2 E5 (hold)
But it is right before you break
-CHORUS-
ch /ch
And what you don't know, it won't hurt you
ch /ch
And what you don't know will save you from some pain
But if I could choose, oh, I'd let it hurt you
Cause there's something 'bout life in the pain
Cause there's something 'bout life in the pain
Cause there's something 'bout life in the pain
