[VERSE]
                    Em
I was born inside a small town, I've lost that state of mind
           Bm               C                                       D
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nine
                     Em
I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride
     Bm               C                                D
The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind
                    Em
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life
             Bm                 C                                    D
Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride
                        Em
And when the world's against me is when I really come alive
         Bm              C                                 D
And everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride
                        Em
You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs
     Bm          C                               D          G
I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun
          Em
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
            C                              D               G
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become
               Em
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
Bm         C                     D          G
Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree
      Em
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
     Bm             C                          D
They showed me the locked doors I find another use of key, and you'll see


[CHORUS]
C           G                D          D/A 
  I'm well aware of certain things that will 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]
                             Em                                     Bm
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs
             C                                   D                 G
I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong
             Em                                           
I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell
  C                             D           G
Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well
     Em
And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
                C                           D               G
Because you're living your dream, man, this shit should be fun
                 Em
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run
           C                              D            G
I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become
       Em
Our conversations with my father on the A14
C                                 D                 G
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
        Em
Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me
        C                                 D               G
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans
        Em
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thousand
            C                        D          G
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud
           Em
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
          C                                D
The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now, somehow


[CHORUS]
C           G                D          D/A 
  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
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]

Welcome to the new show

I guess you know I've been away

But where I'm heading, who knows

But my heart will stay the same

Welcome to the new show

I guess you know I've been away

But where I'm heading, who knows

My pain eraser
              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
