[Intro]
A Bm G A Bm G A
[Verse]
A G Bm
I was born inside a small town, I lost that state of mind
G
Learned to sing inside the lord's house
A
But stopped at the age of nine
Bm
I forget when I get awards now, the wave I had to ride
G A
The paving stones I played upon, that kept me on the grind
Bm
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life
G A
Friends and family filled with envy, when they should be filled with pride
Bm
And when the world's against me, is when I really come alive
G A
And every day that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride
Bm
You know that I've got whisky with white lies, and smoke in my lungs
G A
I think life has got to the point, I know without it's no fun
Bm
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
G A
Instead I look in the mirror, questioning what I've become
Bm
Guess it's a stereotypical day, for someone like me
G A
Without a nine to five job or a uni degree
Bm
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
G A G
Show me the locked doors I'll find another use for the key, and you'll see
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me
D Em G Bm Em Bm
But with that said give me one more
G A Bm
I am another one to take the sting away
G A Bm Em
I am happy on my own so here I'll stay
Bm G A Bm
Save your loving arms for a rainy day
Bm G A
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
[Verse]
G Bm
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs
G A
I chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrong
Bm
I think that money is the route of all evil, and fame is hell
G A
Relationships and hearts you fix, they break as well
Bm
And ain't nobody want to see you down in the dumps
G A
Because you're living your dream and this should be fun
Bm
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm reverend run
G A
I beg you don't be disappointed with the man I've become
Bm
Conversations with my father on the A14
G A
Age 12, telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
Bm
Now I'm playing for the people dad and they know me
G A
With my beaten small guitar, wearing the same old jeans
Bm
Wembley stadium crowds, two hundred and forty thou
G A
I may have grown up but I hope that Damian's proud
Bm
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
G A G
The world may be filled with hate, but keep erasing it now, somehow
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me
D Em Bm Em Bm
But with that said give me one more
G A Bm
I am another one to take the sting away
G A Bm Em
I am happy on my own so here I'll stay
Bm G A Bm
Save your loving arms for a rainy day
Bm G A Bm A Bm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
G A Bm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
G A Bm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
[Bridge]
G
Welcome to the new show
A Bm
I guess you know I've been away
G
Where I'm heading who knows
A Bm
My heart will stay the same
Bm G
Welcome to the new show
A Bm
I guess you know I've been away
G
Where I'm heading who knows
A Bm
My pain eraser
[Outro]
G A Bm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
G A Bm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
G A Bm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
G A
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
