Capo di fret 4
(Intro) EmCDEmCDEm
I was born inside a small town,
Em
I've lost that state of mind
C
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house
D
but stopped at the age of nine
GEm
I forget when I get awards
Em
now the wave I had to ride
C
The paving stones I played upon
D
they kept me on the grind
GEm
So blame it on the pain
Em
that blessed me with the life
C
Friends and family filled with envy
D
when they should be filled with pride
GEm
And when the world's against me
Em
is when I really come alive
C
And everyday that Satan tempts me,
D
I try to take it in my stride
GEm
You know that I've got whisky
Em
with white lines and smoke in my lungs
C
I think life has got to the point
D
I know without it's no fun
GEm
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
C
Instead, I look in the mirror
D
questioning what I've become
GEm
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
CD
Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree
GEm
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
C
They showed me the locked doors
D
I find another use of key, and you'll see
(Chorus)
CGD
I'm well aware of certain things
AmC
that can destroy a man like me
GDB7Em
But with that said give me one more.. higher
CDEm
Another one to take the sting away
CDEm
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
CDEm
Save your loving arms for a rainy day
CD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Em
I used to think that nothing could be better
Em
than touring the world with my songs
C
I chased the pictured perfect life,
D
I think they painted it wrong
GEm
I think that money
Em
is the root of evil and fame is hell
C
Relationships and hearts
D
you fixed, they break as well
GEm
And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
C
Because you're living your dream, man,
D
his shit should be fun
GEm
Please know that I'm not trying to preach
Em
like I'm Reverend Run
C
I beg you, don't be disappointed
D
with the man I've become
Em
Our conversations with my father on the A14
C
Age twelve telling me
D
I've gotta chase those dreams
GEm
Now I'm playing for the people,
Em
dad, and they know me
C
With my beat and small guitar
D
wearing the same old jeans
GEm
Wembley Stadium crowd
Em
two hundred and forty thousand
C
I may have grown up
D
but I hope that Damien's proud
GEm
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
C
The world may be filled with hate
D
but keep erasing it now, somehow
(Chorus)
CGD
I'm well aware of certain things
AmC
that will befall a man like me
GDB7Em
But with that said give me one more.. higher
CDEm
Another one to take the sting away
CDEm
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
CDEm
Save your loving arms for a rainy day
CD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
EmCD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
EmCD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
Em
Welcome to the new show
CD
I guess you know I've been away
Em
But where I'm heading, who knows
CD
But my heart will stay the same
Em
Welcome to the new show
CD
I guess you know I've been away
Em
But where I'm heading, who knows
C
My pain eraser
EmCD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
EmCD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
EmCD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
EmCD
And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
