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

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

                             Em
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs
             C                                   D
I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong
  G          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
Because you're living your dream, man, this shit should be fun
       G         Em
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run
           C                              D
I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become
       Em
Our conversations with my father on the A14
C                                 D
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
 G      Em
Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me
        C                                 D
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans
        Em
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thousand
            C                       D
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud
     G     Em
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
          C                                D
The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now, somehow

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

Em
  Welcome to the new show
C    D
  I guess you know I've been away
Em
  But where I'm heading, who knows
C        D
  But my heart will stay the same
Em
  Welcome to the new show
