[Verse 1]
F#m
I don't believe a word what they say,
E
It's only been a short time, only 90 days,
F#m
You couldn't leave me baby, you couldn't walk,
E
There's so much craziness, there's too much talk,
F#m
I gave you all my love, I gave you all my time,
E
Now I wake up in a cold, cold sweat losing my mind.
[Pre-Chorus]
D F#m
I don't really care what the future holds,
D A E
And I don't really care if your blood runs cold.
[Chorus]
F#m
I need a painkiller,
E
Painkiller.
[Verse 2]
F#m
I feel the silence creeping up on me,
E
I see those thunderclouds, a night for secrecy,
F#m
Here comes another cold, cold night closing all around,
E
Like a cornered animal I got to cover ground.
[Pre-Chorus]
D F#m
It was bitter agony that night you ran away,
D A E
Now I found some medicine, she takes my pain away.
[Chorus]
F#m
She's my painkiller,
E
She's my painkiller,
F#m
Painkiller,
F#m
Now she's running through my veins,
E
Painkiller.
[Bridge]
D A G D E
I don't need you baby,
D A G D E
I don't need the pain,
D A G D E
My time is too precious,
D A B
Take it away,
C
Take it away.

F#m
My mama told me baby 'bout wild women like you,
E
But I'm a wild man and I know just what to do.
[Pre-Chorus]
D F#m
I found me a new love, she's better than cocaine,
D A E
Gives me mad love just like the pounding rain.
[Chorus]
F#m N.C. F#m
She's my,
E N.C. E
She's my,
F#m N.C. F#m
She's my,

Painkiller,

She's my painkiller,

My painkiller,

She's my painkiller.
