F       Dm         Bb
 In the time of my ruin
F
 At the museum I met a curator
F           Dm                      Bb
 She was so nice, I thought I would date her
F        Dm              Bb
 I was a hawk and I just flew in

     In the time   of my ruin
     I did not know you would be created
     Now every day I am elated
     Cuz you never know what is brewing

[CHORUS]
F     C       Gm
 Some pain is good
Bb                        F  C
 Sometimes its good to be blind
F     C          Gm
 Some pain feels good
Ab                                         G
 That's the pain that's just the right kind

[BREAK]

[VERSE] -  F-Dm-Bb
 You didn't know I was a shoe-in
 And you didn't know it was my hour
 And you didn't know that I had the power

F       Dm         Bb
 In the time of my ruin  (x4)

[CHORUS]

 Some pain is good
Bb                        F  C
 Sometimes its good to be blind
F     C          Gm
 Some pain feels good
Ab                                       Cadd9
 That's the pain that's just the right kind


[OUTRO]
Db        Ab            Bb  Bbm
  They're caving in the roof
       Fm           Bb   F
 It is falling all around
Db   Ab              Bb  Bbm
 The floor is going, too
                Fm             Bb  F
 Soon I will be falling on down


 (repeat OUTRO several times)
