[Intro]
Em Em C D
Em Em C D
[Verse 1]
Em Em
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
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
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
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
You know that I've got whisky with white lies and smoke in my lungs
C D
I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun
Em Em
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
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
C D
Without a nine-to-five job or a uni degree
Em Em
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 Em
But with that said give me one more, higher
[Chorus 1]
C D Em Em
Another one to take the sting away
C D Em Em
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
C D Em Em
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
C D
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
[Verse 2]
Em Em
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
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
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
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
Our conversations with my father on the A14
C D
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
Em Em
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
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thou
C D
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud
Em Em
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 Em
But with that said give me one more, higher
[Chorus 2]
C D Em Em
Another one to take the sting away
C D Em Em
Oh I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
C D Em Em
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
C D Em Em
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
C D Em Em
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
C D
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
[Bridge]
Em Em C D
Welcome to the new show, I guess you know I've been away
Em Em C D
But where I'm heading who knows, but my heart will stay the same
Em Em C D
Welcome to the new show, I guess you know I've been away
Em Em C
But where I'm heading who knows, my pain eraser
[Outro]
Em Em C D
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Em Em C D
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Em Em C D
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Em Em C D
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
