Ryan Adams – In It For The Pleasure chords

[Intro]
C F  Dm F
C F  Dm F
 
[Verse 1]
C                 F            
Operator's on the phone, 
       Dm       F
says I can't be trusted
C                      F      
That's why you left me alone,
       Dm               F 
it was broken, now it's busted
C                 F         
A little sunshine would do 
     Dm        F
but outside it's disgusting
      C                 F    
It's barely making a sound, 
    Dm                 F
my heart is beating so loud
 

[Chorus]

       Am                F            
I feel this aching in my bones, 
            C      G
I feel the pressure
        Am            F             Dm
Were you in it for the love, or were you
F                      C
Were you in it for the pleasure?
 
[Interlude]

F  Dm F
C  F  Dm F
 
[Verse 2]

C         F            Dm        F
It's late July and the sky is so gray
C             F   
Everyone's in bed,
      Dm       F
for a month in LA
C                 F     
The house is so quiet,
         Dm       F
it's barely making a sound
C              F      
Hands are shaking,
   Dm                   F  
my heart is beating so loud
 
 
[Chorus]

       Am                F    
I feel this aching in my bones, 
            C         G
I feel the pressure
        Am             F     
Were you in it for the love, 
           Dm
or was it a game?
                           C
Were you just in it for the pleasure?
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

C                 F    
I dive into the pool,
         Dm       F
but the pool was empty
       C            F      
There ain't no water now. 
    Dm                   F
My bones feel like an ash cloud
        C                F 
All the minuses and pluses,
        Dm            F
I try to write them down
         C         F   
It doesn't matter now,
     Dm                F
my heart is beating so loud
 

[Chorus]
           Am                F   
I feel this aching in my bones, 
            C         G
I feel the pressure
        Am            F             Dm
Were you in it for the love, or were you
                        C
Just in it for the pleasure?
 
[Interlude]

[Bridge]

G                  
I lie to myself so 
      Am   F
I can stay sane
G                              Am        F
A list of scratched out numbers next to names
        Dm
And I'm running out of space
               F
And it goes on forever
 
[Interlude]

C F  Dm F
C F  Dm F
 
[Verse 4]

           C   F  
I feel the pain, 
            Dm      F
I feel the pressure
     C          F  
What was it anyway? 
          Dm      F 
Do you remember my name?
                 C  F  
Or was it just a game? 
              Dm     F
Was it just a game?
                            C            F  Dm F
Were you just in it for the pleasure?
 
[Outro]
