verse 1 

                    Em                         Em/B 
I was born inside a small town, I've lost that state of mind 
                           C                                      D 
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house but stopped at the age of nine 
                     Em                          Em/B 
I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride 
                    C                                D 
The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind 

                   Em                            Em/B 
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life 
                               C                                    D 
Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride 
                      Em                               Em/B 
And when the world's against me is when I really come alive 
                         C                                 D 
And everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride 

                       Em                          Em/B 
You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs 
        C                                    D 
I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun 
          Em                        Em/B 
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up 
           C                              D 
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become 

               Em                    Em/B 
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me 
          C                      D 
Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree 
      Em                                Em/B 
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry 
                   C                           D 
They showed me the locked doors I find another use of key, and you'll see 


Pre-Chorus 1 
C           G               D                  Am 
  I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me 
C                G               B7           Em 
  But with that said give me one more, higher 


 C             D               Em 
Another one to take the sting away 
     C           D                 Em 
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay 
          C           D           Em 
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day 
              C             D 
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser 



verse 2 
                             Em                               Em/B 
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs 
             C                                  D 
I chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrong 
             Em                   Em/B 
I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell 
C                            D 
Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well 

    Em                         Em/B 
And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps 
               C                           D 
Because you're living your dream man, this shit should be fun 
                 Em                                Em/B 
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run 
           C                              D 
I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become 

       Em                               Em/B 
Our conversations with my father on the A14 
C                                D 
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams 
        Em                               Em/B 
Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me 
        C                                 D 
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans 

        Em                            Em/B 
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thou 
           C                        D 
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud 
           Em                    Em/B 
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed 
          C                                D 
The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now, somehow 


Pre-Chorus 2 
C           G               D                  Am 
  I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me  
C                G               B7           Em 
  But with that said give me one more, higher 

 
 C             D               Em 
Another one to take the sting away 
        C           D                 Em 
Oh I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay 
          C           D           Em 
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day 
              C             D           Em 
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser 
              C             D           Em 
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser 
              C             D 
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser 



Bridge 
Em  Em/B                    C  D 
    Welcome to the new show, I guess you know I've been away 
Em      Em/B                        C       D 
    But where I'm heading who knows, but my heart will stay the same 
Em  Em/B                    C  D 
    Welcome to the new show, I guess you know I've been away 
Em      Em/B              G         C 
    But where I'm heading who knows, my pain eraser
