Verse 1
Em* Em*
I was born inside a small town, I've lost that state of mind
Em7* C* D*
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nine
Em*
I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride
Em7* C* D*
The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind
Em*
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life
Em7* C* D*
Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride
Em*
And when the world's against me is when I really come alive
Em7* C* D*
And everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride
Em
You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs
C D9 D/F#
I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun
Em
I need to get in the right mind to clear myself up
C D9 D/F#
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become
Em
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
C D9 D/F#
Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree
Em
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
C D9 D/F#
Showed me the locked doors I find another use for the key, and you'll see
Prechorus 1
C9 G D Em7
I'm well aware of certain things that will destroy a man like me
C9 G E7sus4
But with that said give me one more, higher
Chorus 1
Em C D9 D/F# Em
Another one to take the sting away
C D9 D/F# Em
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
C D9 D/F# Em
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
C D9
And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser
Verse 2
Em
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs
C D9 D/F#
I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong
Em
I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell
C D9 D/F#
Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well
Em
And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
C D9 D/F#
Because you're living your dream, man, this sh*t should be fun
Em
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run
C D9 D/F#
I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become
Em
Our conversations with my father on the A14
C D9 D/F#
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
Em
Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me
C D9 D/F#
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans
Em
Wembley Stadium crowds two hundred and forty thou
C D9
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud
Em
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
C D9
The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now, somehow
Prechorus 2
C9 G D Em7
I'm well aware of certain things that will destroy a man like me
C9 G E7sus4
But with that said give me one more, higher
Chorus 2
Em C D9 D/F# Em
Another one to take the sting away
C D9 D/F# Em
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
C D9 D/F# Em
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
C D9 D/F#
And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser
Em C D9 D/F#
And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser
Em C D9 D/F# Em
And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser
