One For The Pain chords by Lifehouse

Chords with lyrics

**Note that the acoustic version is sung/tuned half step down using the exact same chords.**

The E minorEm is played at the x75xxx position.
This allows you to more easily do the filler/transition 5 hammer on 7 on the low E MajorE string after 4 counts.

A augmentedA lot of it is the same shape but sliding up or down 2 frets
e.g. G+G (played 32xxxx) to A augmentedA (played 54xxxx) and C majorC (x32010) to Dadd9add11 or designated here as D11D11 (x54030).

Do note that the alternating chord changes in the chorus are pushed
i.e. you have to change every second chord on the upstrum.

To recap, these are the chord shapes you need:

   E minorEm   G+G   A augmentedA   C majorC   D11D11  E minor 7Em7  D/F#D/F#  Dsus4Dsus4  A minorAm
