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]
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
