                    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
