[INTRO]
Em7 - Cadd9 D
[VERSE]
Em7
I was born inside a small town, I've lost that state of mind
Cadd9 D
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nine
G Em7
I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride
Cadd9 D
The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind
G Em7
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life
Cadd9 D
Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride
G Em7
And when the world's against me is when I really come alive
Cadd9 D
And everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride
G Em7
You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs
Cadd9 D
I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun
G Em7
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
Cadd9 D
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become
G Em7
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
Cadd9 D
Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree
G Em7
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
Cadd9 D
They showed me the locked doors I find another use for the key, and you'll see
[CHORUS]
Cadd9 G D D/A
I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me
Cadd9 G B7 Em7
But with that said give me one more, higher
Cadd9 D Em7
Another one to take the sting away
Cadd9 D Em7
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
Cadd9 D Em7
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
Cadd9 D
And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser
[VERSE]
Em7
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs
Cadd9 D
I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong
G Em7
I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell
Cadd9 D G
Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well
Em7
And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
Cadd9 D
Because you're living your dream, man, this shit should be fun
G Em7
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run
Cadd9 D
I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become
Em7
Our conversations with my father on the A14
Cadd9 D
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
G Em7
Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me
Cadd9 D
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans
Em7
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thousand
Cadd9 D
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud
G Em7
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
Cadd9 D
The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now, somehow
[CHORUS]
Cadd9 G D D/A
I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me
Cadd9 G B7 Em7
But with that said give me one more, higher
Cadd9 D Em7
Another one to take the sting away
Cadd9 D Em7
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
Cadd9 D Em7
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
Cadd9 D Em7
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Cadd9 D Em7
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Cadd9 D
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
[BRIDGE]
Em7
Welcome to the new show
Cadd9 D
I guess you know I've been away
Em7
But where I'm heading, who knows
Cadd9 D
But my heart will stay the same
Em7
Welcome to the new show
Cadd9 D
I guess you know I've been away
Em7
But where I'm heading, who knows
Cadd9
My pain eraser
[OUTRO]
Cadd9 D Em7
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Cadd9 D Em7
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Cadd9 D Em7
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Cadd9 D
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
