Been listening to a lot of Gresham lately and this song stuck out the most. I decided to dust off my guitar and try to tab it out. I’ve got most of the intro and verses tabbed out but I’ll wait until I can figure out the rest before posting. Here are the chords that make up the picking Jason is using. Feel free to help with the tab if you can!
Dear Pain by Jason Wade
Tabbed by: Shawn Eggleston (LifehouseFans.net)
Tuning: Eb

[INTRO]
F Am
F Am
[VERSE 1]
F Am
I wrote my story in the sand
F Am
Walked away in shoes that were second hand
F Am
I put my pain inside a box
F Am
I'll feel it later when I finally change the locks
[VERSE 2]
F Am
Yeah, I watched ‘em drop like flies
F Am
Like dominoes falling across my mind
F Am
Gonna need a better place to hide
F Am
'Cause nothing's safe here, nothing is alright
[CHORUS]
C G
All these years it was me and you
Am F
You were the dynamite and I was the fuse
C G
If you're gonna make me pick and choose
Am F
I know that I'm gonna have to cut you loose
[VERSE 3]
F Am
I threw the apple as far as I could see
F Am
Yeah, there's no shade here under the family tree
F Am
Yeah, there's no use crying here alone
F Am
We both know where they buried the bones
[CHORUS]
C G
All these years it was me and you
Am F
You were the dynamite and I was the fuse
C G
If you're gonna make me pick and choose
Am F
I know that I'm gonna have to cut you loose
C G
Hello pain my oldest friend
Am F
You'd wrap your arms around me to the bitter end
C G
If you're gonna make me pick and choose
Am F
I know that I'm gonna have to cut you loose
[INTERLUDE]
Am F
Am F
[VERSE 4]
F Am
I've been running since I was seven years old
F Am
Dug a hole to China, reached the California sands
F Am
I put my pain inside a box
F Am
I guess I'll finally put it in some bigger hands
[CHORUS]
C G
All these years it was me and you
Am F
You were the dynamite and I was the fuse
C G
If you're gonna make me pick and choose
Am F
I know that I'm gonna have to cut you loose
C G
Hello pain my oldest friend
Am F
You'd wrap your arms around me to the bitter end
C G
But I won't wear you for a noose
Am F
You know that I'm gonna have to cut you loose
