Lyrics:

Take a
Why?
'Cause you can't sleep

Happiness, it's been a friend to me
But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy
But I almost lost my faith when I hit reality

I don't need no guru to tell me what to do
When you're feelin' like a headline on yesterday's news
Come on, come on, come on

Gimme somethin' for the pain
Gimme somethin' for the blues
Gimme something for the pain when I feel I'm danglin' on a hangman's noose
Gimme shelter from the rain
Gimme somethin' I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Somethin' like you

Come on, come on, come on

Loneliness has found a home in me
My suitcase and guitar are my only family
I've tried to need someone like they needed me
Well I opened up my heart, but all I did was bleed

I don't need no lover just to get screwed, oh yeah
They don't make a bandaid that's going to cover my bruise
Come on, come on, come on

Gimme somethin' for the pain
Gimme somethin' for the blues
Gimme something for the pain when I feel I'm danglin' on a hangman's noose
Gimme shelter from the rain
Gimme somethin' I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Somethin' like you

Come on, come on, come on


(Help I'm fallin') Pull me under through my veins
To a place where I feel no pain
(Night is callin') Be the pillow under my head
Cover me when I'm in your bed
(Feels like I'm flyin') Take me higher than I've ever been
Take me down and back again
(Christ, I'm dyin') Come to me, be my disguise
Open your coat and, let me crawl inside

Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on

Gimme somethin' for the pain
Gimme somethin' for the blues
Gimme something for the pain when I feel I'm danglin' on a hangman's noose
Gimme shelter from the rain
Gimme somethin' I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Somethin' like you
Give me somethin' for the pain
Give me somethin' for the blues
Give me something for the pain when I feel I'm danglin' on a hangman's noose
Give me shelter from the rain
Give me somethin' I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Somethin' like you

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

Gimme, gimme something for the pain
Gimme, gimme something for the blues
Oh yeah
Gimme, got to gimme something for the pain, baby
Gimme
