verse 1EmEm/B
I was born inside a small town, I've lost that state of mind
CD
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house but stopped at the age of nine
EmEm/B
I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride
CD
The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind
EmEm/B
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life
CD
Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride
EmEm/B
And when the world's against me is when I really come alive
CD
And everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride
EmEm/B
You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs
CD
I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun
EmEm/B
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
CD
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become
EmEm/B
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
CD
Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree
EmEm/B
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
CD
They showed me the locked doors I find another use of key, and you'll see
Pre-Chorus 1
CGDAm
I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me
CGB7Em
But with that said give me one more, higher
CDEm
Another one to take the sting away
CDEm
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
CDEm
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
CD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
verse 2EmEm/B
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs
CD
I chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrong
EmEm/B
I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell
CD
Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well
EmEm/B
And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
CD
Because you're living your dream man, this shit should be fun
EmEm/B
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run
CD
I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become
EmEm/B
Our conversations with my father on the A14CD
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
EmEm/B
Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me
CD
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans
EmEm/B
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thou
CD
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud
EmEm/B
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
CD
The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now, somehow
Pre-Chorus 2
CGDAm
I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me
CGB7Em
But with that said give me one more, higher
CDEm
Another one to take the sting away
CDEm
Oh I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
CDEm
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
CDEm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
CDEm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
CD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Bridge EmEm/BCD
Welcome to the new show, I guess you know I've been away
EmEm/BCD
But where I'm heading who knows, but my heart will stay the same
EmEm/BCD
Welcome to the new show, I guess you know I've been away
EmEm/BGC
But where I'm heading who knows, my pain eraser
Outro EmCD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
