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


Chorus 1:
 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


Chorus 2:
 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

    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
