^EmI'm not sure, What I'm looking for anymore.^D#/A# ^EmI just know, That I'm harder to ^Gconsole. ^EmI don't see who I'm trying to be, Instead of me.^D#/A# ^EmBut the key, Is a question of ^Gcontrol.

REFRAIN 1: [Riff over] |G C/G|Em G| |G C/G|Em G| VERSE 2:

^EmCan you say, What you're trying to play anyway, ^D#/A#I just pay, While you're ^Embreaking all the rules, All the ^Gsigns that I find. Have been ^Emunderlined, ^D#/A#Devils thrive on the drive. That is ^Emfuelled.

CHORUS 1:

^EmAll this running around, Well it's ^Ggetting me down. Just give me a ^C/Gpain that I'm ^Aused ^Emto.

I don't need to believe,

All the ^Gdreams you conceive. You just ^C/Gneed to achieve, Something that ^Arings ^Emtrue.

^EmThere's a hole in your soul, Like an animal. ^D#/A#With no conscience, Repentance ^Emunknown. Close your ^Geyes, Pay the price for ^Emyour paradise. ^D#/A#Devils feed on the seeds, That are ^Emsown.

REFRAIN 2: [Riff over] |G C/G|Em G| |G C/G|Em G| VERSE 4: [Bass drone over]

^EmCan't conceal what I feel, What I know is real. ^D#/A#No mistaking the faking, I ^Emcare. With a prayer ^Gin the air, I will leave i^Emt there. ^D#/A#On a note full of hope, Not ^Emdespair.

CHORUS 2:

^EmAll this running around, Well it's ^Ggetting me down. Just give me a ^C/Gpain that I'm ^Aused ^Emto.

I don't need to believe,

All the ^Gdreams you conceive. You just ^C/Gneed to achieve, Something that ^Arings ^Emtrue.

CHORUS 3:

^EmAll this running around, Well it's ^Ggetting me down. Just give me a ^C/Gpain that I'm ^Aused ^Emto.

I don't need to believe,

All the ^Gdreams you conceive. You just ^C/Gneed to achieve, Something that ^Arings ^Emtrue.

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