1. [Am] First things first, I'ma say all the words inside my [F] head
I'm fired up and [E] tired of the way that things have [Am] been, oh-ooh
The way that things have [F] been, [E] oh-ooh-ooh
[Am] Second thing second, don't you tell me what you think that I can [F] be
I'm the one at the [E] sail, I'm the master of my [Am] sea, oh-ooh
The master of my [F] sea, [E] oh-ooh-ooh

Pre-Chorus: I was [Am] broken from a young age, taking my sulking to the masses
Write down my [F] poems for the few, that looked at me, [E] took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from [Am] heartache, from the pain, take up my message from the veins
Speaking my [F] lesson from the brain, seeing the [E] beauty through [N.C.] the...

Chorus: [Am] Pain! You made me a, you made me a [F] believer, [E] believer
[Am] Pain! You break me down, you build me up, [F] believer, [E] believer
[Am] Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them [F] rain
My [E/G#] life, my love, my drive, they came from...
[Am] Pain! You made me a, you made me a [F] believer, [E] believer

Verse 2: [Am] Third things third, send a prayer to the ones up [F] above
All the hate that you've [E] heard has turned your spirit to a [Am] dove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up [F] above, [E] oh-ooh-ooh

Pre-Chorus 2: I was [Am] choking in the crowd, building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like [F] ashes to the ground, hoping my [E] feelings, they would drown
But they [Am] never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing, inhibited, limited
Till it broke up and it [F] rained down, it rained [E] down, like...

Chorus: [Am] Pain! You made me a, you made me a [F] believer, [E] believer
[Am] Pain! You break me down, you build me up, [F] believer, [E] believer
[Am] Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them [F] rain
My [E/G#] life, my love, my drive, they came from...
[Am] Pain! You made me a, you made me a [F] believer, [E] believer

Bridge: [Am] Last things last, by the grace of the fire and the [F] flames
You're the face of the [E] future, the blood in my [Am] veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my [F] veins, [E] oh-ooh-ooh
But they [F] never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing, inhibited, limited
Till it broke up and it [G] rained down, it rained [E/G#] down, like...

Chorus: [Am] Pain! You made me a, you made me a [F] believer, [E7] believer
[Am] Pain! You break me down, you build me up, [F] believer, [E7] believer
[Am] Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them [F] rain
My [E7/G#] life, my love, my drive, they came from
[Am] Pain! You made me a, you made me a [F] believer, [E7] believer
