Let the pain go away.
By Nick Lear

Verse 1: (Open chords Picking)

Am C D+4
I hear her in the wind, Howling my name.
Am C D+4
My spirit shrieks in anguish, My soul's in flames.
Am C D+4
How much longer, will I feel this pain.
Am C D+4
No direction home, is there any other way.
Am C D+4
Down the labyrinth of my mind, to the house of shame.
Am C D+4
The walls are closing in, the tears fall like rain.

Chorus: (Power Chords)

G A C D
I hear her calling, from the other side.
G A C D
Come across the void, don't hide.
G A C D
Your soul's on fire, be one with the flames.
G A C D
Reach out your hand now, and touch my face.
G A C D
Confront your fears, the fall's not far.
G A C D
Just a small step, to escape it all.

2 bars Interlude: (Open picking)

Am C D+4
Let the pain go away.

Verse 2:

Am C D+4
They circle in the sky, overhead.
Am C D+4
Like vultures awaiting, awaiting their dead.
Am C D+4
I'm still walking and talking, just a skeleton
Am C D+4
Marching down this road, that has no end.
Am C D+4
Barren desolation as far as the eye can see.
Am C D+4
Is there anyone left out there, anyone for me.

Chorus

Lead: 4 bars of power chords/4 bars open chord picking

Verse 1: Ring out on "the tears fall like RAIN..."
