Eraser - Ed Sheeran (Lyrics and Chords)

INTRO:
G#m E F# 
G#m E F# 

VERSE1:
                    G#m       
I WAS BORN INSIDE A SMALL TOWN, I LOST THAT STATE OF MIND
                       E 
LEARNED TO SING INSIDE THE LORD'S HOUSE
                   F# 
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, THAT 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 EVERY DAY THAT SATAN TEMPTS ME, I TRY TO TAKE IT IN MY STRIDE

VERSE2:
                       G#m 
YOU KNOW THAT I'VE GOT WHISKY WITH WHITE LIES, 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 
GUESS IT'S A STEREOTYPICAL DAY, FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME
          E                     F# 
WITHOUT A NINE TO FIVE JOB OR A UNI DEGREE
      G#m 
TO BE CAUGHT UP IN THE TRAPPINGS OF THE INDUSTRY
            E                              F# 
SHOW ME THE LOCKED DOORS I'LL FIND ANOTHER USE FOR THE KEY, AND YOU'LL SEE

CHORUS:
E          B               F#                    C#m           E
 I'M WELL AWARE OF CERTAIN THINGS THAT CAN DESTROY A MAN LIKE ME
                B              F#    
BUT WITH THAT SAID GIVE ME ONE MORE
     G#m 
I AM 
 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 LOVING ARMS FOR A RAINY DAY
              E             F# 
AND I'LL FIND COMFORT IN MY PAIN ERASER

VERSE3:
                             G#m 
I USED TO THINK THAT NOTHING COULD BE BETTER THAN TOURING THE WORLD WITH MY SONGS
         E                                 F# 
I CHASED THE PICTURE PERFECT LIFE, I THINK THEY PAINTED IT WRONG
        G#m 
I THINK THAT MONEY IS THE ROUTE OF ALL EVIL, AND FAME IS HELL
E                        F# 
RELATIONSHIPS AND HEARTS YOU FIX, THEY BREAK AS WELL
G#m 
AND AIN'T NOBODY WANT TO SEE YOU DOWN IN THE DUMPS
        E                            F# 
BECAUSE YOU'RE LIVING YOUR DREAM AND THIS 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

VERSE4:
      G#m 
CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FATHER ON THE A14
E                             F# 
AGE 12, TELLING ME I'VE GOTTA CHASE THOSE DREAMS
    G#m 
NOW I'M PLAYING FOR THE PEOPLE DAD AND THEY KNOW ME
     E                          G#m 
WITH MY BEATEN SMALL GUITAR, WEARING THE SAME OLD JEANS
    G#m           
WEMBLEY STADIUM CROWDS, TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY THOU
      E                             F#    
I MAY HAVE GROWN UP BUT I HOPE THAT DAMIAN'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

CHORUS:

     G#m 
I AM 
 E              F#              G#m

I AM HAPPY ON MY OWN SO HERE I'LL STAY
