Verse 1:
          E minorEm             E minorEm
I was born inside a small town, I've lost that state of mind
              C majorC                   D MajorD
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house but stopped at the age of nine
           E minorEm             E minorEm
I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride
          C majorC                D MajorD
The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind

          E minorEm              E minorEm
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life
                C majorC                  D MajorD
Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride
           E minorEm                E minorEm
And when the world's against me is when I really come alive
            C majorC                 D MajorD
And everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride

            E minorEm             E minorEm
You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs
    C majorC                  D MajorD
I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun
     E minorEm            E minorEm
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
      C majorC               D MajorD
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become

        E minorEm          E minorEm
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
     C majorC           D MajorD
Without a nine-to-five job or a uni degree
   E minorEm                E minorEm
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
          C majorC              D MajorD
They showed me the locked doors I find another use of key, and you'll see

Pre-Chorus 1:
C majorC      G+G        D MajorD         A minorAm
 I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me
C majorC        G+G        B7B7      E minorEm  E minorEm
 But with that said give me one more, higher


Chorus 1:
 C majorC       D MajorD        E minorEm  E minorEm
Another one to take the sting away
   C majorC      D MajorD         E minorEm  E minorEm
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
     C majorC      D MajorD      E minorEm  E minorEm
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
       C majorC       D MajorD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser


Verse 2:
               E minorEm                E minorEm
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs
       C majorC                 D MajorD
I chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrong
       E minorEm          E minorEm
I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell
C majorC              D MajorD
Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well

  E minorEm             E minorEm
And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
        C majorC              D MajorD
Because you're living your dream man, this shit should be fun
         E minorEm                E minorEm
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run
      C majorC               D MajorD
I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become

    E minorEm                E minorEm
Our conversations with my father on the A14
C majorC                D MajorD
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
    E minorEm                E minorEm
Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me
    C majorC                 D MajorD
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans

    E minorEm              E minorEm
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thou
      C majorC            D MajorD
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud
      E minorEm          E minorEm
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
     C majorC                D MajorD
The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now, somehow


Pre-Chorus 2:
C majorC      G+G        D MajorD         A minorAm
 I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me
C majorC        G+G        B7B7      E minorEm  E minorEm
 But with that said give me one more, higher


Chorus 2:
 C majorC       D MajorD        E minorEm  E minorEm
Another one to take the sting away
    C majorC      D MajorD         E minorEm  E minorEm
Oh I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
     C majorC      D MajorD      E minorEm  E minorEm
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
       C majorC       D MajorD      E minorEm  E minorEm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
       C majorC       D MajorD      E minorEm  E minorEm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
       C majorC       D MajorD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser


Bridge:
E minorEm E minorEm           C majorC D MajorD
  Welcome to the new show, I guess you know I've been away
E minorEm   E minorEm             C majorC    D MajorD
  But where I'm heading who knows, but my heart will stay the same
E minorEm E minorEm           C majorC D MajorD
  Welcome to the new show, I guess you know I've been away
E minorEm   E minorEm             C majorC
  But where I'm heading who knows, my pain eraser
