Painkiller (Acoustic)

[Intro]

Mm

Mm-mm

[Verse 1]

Six strings, whisky, and weed

They're the only painkillers a man needs

A woman's touch, a whisper in the sheets

That could get a man up from his knees

A cup of coffee in the morning by a log fire

Stackin' sticks like he's building an empire

Oh, his love is free, his love is wild

Throwin' hammers down and hangin' tiles

Makes me high, he cools my heat

He's the only painkiller I need

[Chorus]

And I know this world can be so cold

And you ain't had it easy on your soul

I know you're tryna leave it all behind

But we all need a painkiller sometimes

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]

Six strings, whisky, and weed

That's all it takes to get a man some peace

Never talk 'cause talking makes it bleed

Fold it up like the laundry

A cup of coffee in the morning by a log fire

Grit your teeth, suck it up like a vampire

Put on a shirt, put on a smile

Tough like a man, soft like a child

Say you'll come on back to me

That's the only painkiller I need

[Chorus]

And I know this world can be so cold

And you ain't had it easy on your soul

I know you're tryna keep yourself in line

But we all need a painkiller sometimes

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh

We all need a painkiller sometimes

Ooh, ooh

We all need a painkiller sometimes
