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


REFRAIN 1: (Riff over)

|Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC/GC/G|Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramG+G|


VERSE 2:
Chord diagramE minorEm
Can you say,

What you're trying to play anyway,
D#/A#
I just pay,
       Chord diagramE minorEm
While you're breaking all the rules,
    Chord diagramG+G
All the signs that I find.
     Chord diagramE minorEm
Have been underlined,
D#/A#
Devils thrive on the drive.
    Chord diagramE minorEm
That is fuelled.
CHORUS 1:
Chord diagramE minorEm
All this running around,
     Chord diagramG+G
Well it's getting me down.
        Chord diagramC/GC/G      Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramE minorEm
Just give me a pain that I'm used to.

I don't need to believe,
    Chord diagramG+G
All the dreams you conceive.
     Chord diagramC/GC/G
You just need to achieve,
        Chord diagramA augmentedA   Chord diagramE minorEm
Something that rings true.

VERSE 3: (Bass drone over)
Chord diagramE minorEm
There's a hole in your soul,

Like an animal.
D#/A#
With no conscience,
      Chord diagramE minorEm
Repentance unknown.
      Chord diagramG+G
Close your eyes,
         Chord diagramE minorEm
Pay the price for your paradise.
D#/A#
Devils feed on the seeds,
     Chord diagramE minorEm
That are sown.

VERSE 4: (Bass drone over)
Chord diagramE minorEm
Can't conceal what I feel,

What I know is real.
D#/A#
No mistaking the faking,
 Chord diagramE minorEm
I care.
       Chord diagramG+G
With a prayer in the air,
       Chord diagramE minorEm
I will leave it there.
D#/A#
On a note full of hope,
  Chord diagramE minorEm
Not despair.


CHORUS 2:
Chord diagramE minorEm
All this running around,
     Chord diagramG+G
Well it's getting me down.

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. ...?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Pain_That_I'm_Used_To
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.
