G#m

I was born inside a small town, I've lost that state of mind

E F#

Learned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nine

G#m

I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride

E F#

The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind

G#m

So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life

E F#

Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride

G#m

And when the world's against me is when I really come alive

E F#

And everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride

G#m

You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs

E F#

I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun

G#m

I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up

E F#

Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become

G#m

I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me

E F#

Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree

G#m

To be caught up in the trappings of the industry

E F#

They showed me the locked doors I find another use of key

And you'll see





E B F#

I'm well aware of certain things that will destroy a man like me

E B D#7 G#m

But with that said give me one more, higher

E F# G#m

Another one to take the sting away

E F# G#m

I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay

E F# G#m

Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day

E F#

And I'll find comfort in my pain Eraser





G#m

I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs

E F#

I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong

G#m

I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell

E F#

Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well

G#m

And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps

E F#

Because you're living your dream, man, this shit should be fun

G#m

Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run

E F#

I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become

G#m

Our conversations with my father on the A14

E F#

Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams

G#m

Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me

E F#

With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans

G#m

Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thou

E F#

I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud

G#m

And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed

E F#

The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now

Somehow





E B F#

I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me

E B D#7 G#m

But with that said give me one more, higher

E F# G#m

Another one to take the sting away

E F# G#m

I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay

E F# G#m

Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day

E F# G#m

And I'll find comfort in my pain Eraser

E F# G#m

And I'll find comfort in my pain Eraser

E F#

And I'll find comfort in my pain Eraser





G#m

I woke up this morning lookin' in the mirror

E F#

Thinkin' to myself that I should probably be thinner

G#m

The industry told me to look like them

E F#

But I found my happiness in fried food for my dinner

G#m

I wish that she could have been my first time

E F#

And I wish that I'd never took that first line

G#m

And I wish that every word in this verse rhymed

E F# G#m

But forgive me if it doesn't I wish that I could make peace with my older cousin

E

I wish he didn't think that it was me when it wasn't

F# G#m

I wish I didn't love it when I'm high and my face feels buzzin'

E

And the taste stays underneath my tongue, and

F# G#m

Wish that I had known what to do as a youngling

E F#

Wish I hadn't dropped out of school and missed every single party

G#m

With that hardly matters now, man, does it?

E F#

Wish I had an answer to everything, but fuck it

G#m

I wish creatin' art didn't come with a budget

E

But while we're on the subject

F# G#m

I wish my private life would have never gone public

G#m

But that's the sacrifice that we make

E F#

Spendin' my whole time high livin' life away





G#m

I'm singin' this is how we're livin' down here

E F#

Sittin' on the edge, lookin' out without fear

G#m

Yeah, we got drama but you know we don't care

E F#

I wanna see you sing it, put your hands in the air, one wish

G#m

I'm singin' this is how we're livin' down here

E F#

Sittin' on the edge, lookin' out without fear

G#m

Yeah, we got drama but you know we don't care

E F#

I wanna see you sing it, put your hands in the air, one wish





G#m

I wish my family and friends, they stay healthy

E F#

I wish that love was a currency and the whole world was wealthy

G#m

I found myself late night wishin' on a star

E F#

Everyday I wish I'd never broken a heart, uh

G#m

And I wish I'd never run through

E F#

Every woman that I loved that kept my life and what it's come to

G#m

I wish I was the role model you looked up to

E F#

If I told my fans the things I did they'd say, "Fuck you"

G#m

I wish I was home more

E F#

I wish my team could see their kids on their birthdays, but yo, we're on tour

G#m

And I wish I'd grow more, wish I told more

E F#

People that I love 'em but it's in the music that I'm known for

G#m

And I wish he never got cancer

E F#

And if I smoke a pack a day, well, does that make me a wanker?

G#m

Oh yes, I guess it does, and we're still stressing 'cause

E F#

Every day this shit gets the best of us

G#m

Usin' my balance on razor blades

E F#

Spendin' my whole time high wishing life would wait





G#m

I'm singin' this is how we're livin' down here

E F#

Sittin' on the edge, lookin' out without fear

G#m

Yeah, we got drama but you know we don't care

E F#

I wanna see you sing it, put your hands in the air, one wish

G#m

I'm singin' this is how we're livin' down here

E F#

Sittin' on the edge, lookin' out without fear

G#m

Yeah, we got drama but you know we don't care

E F#

I wanna see you sing it, put your hands in the air, one wish









G#m

I'm using jumpers for goalposts, cigarettes for throat cold

E F#

Mum sayin', "Don't smoke," no, I don't listen, I got

G#m

Love for a ghost note, shows on the gold coast

E F#

People that I don't know share the same vision

G#m

I find truth in the hard times and words that aren't mine

E F#

Tryin' to find a love with a compatible star sign

G#m

Sometimes I can't write, sentences can't rhyme

E F#

Starin' at my notepad quick, I'm tryin' to find mine

G#m

Shit quick before I hit it again

E F#

Surrounded in the industry by all these ignorant men

G#m

And who knew that I'd be paid just to pick up a pen

E F#

Just let me hit the studio when we can rip it again

G#m

I'm a competitive dick with an adrenaline kick

E F#

My daddy told me, "Work hard and you can never be shit"

G#m

I've seen all my heroes dethroned except my dad

E F#

Set back here reminiscing 'bout the times we had

G#m

One wish
