E minorEm Em/B
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 Em/B
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 Em/B
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 Em/B
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 Em/B
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 Em/B
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 Em/B
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
C majorC D MajorD
Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree
E minorEm Em/B
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
But with that said give me one more, higher
Chorus 1:
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Another one to take the sting away
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
C majorC D MajorD 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 Em/B
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 Em/B
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 Em/B
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 Em/B
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 Em/B
Our conversations with my father on the A14
C majorC D MajorD
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
E minorEm Em/B
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 Em/B
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 Em/B
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
But with that said give me one more, higher
Chorus 2:
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Another one to take the sting away
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Oh I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
C majorC D MajorD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
