Ed Sheeran - Eraser

capo ON 4th fret

[INTRO]

Em7 Cadd9 D

[Verse]
                    Em7
I was born inside a small town, I've lost that state of mind
                            Cadd9                             D
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nine
              G       Em7
I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride
                      Cadd9                            D
The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind
            G      Em7
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life
                                Cadd9                                D
friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride
             G        Em7
and when the world's against me is when I really come alive
                         Cadd9                             D
and everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride
              G        Em7
You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs
                 Cadd9                           D
I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun
  G       Em7
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
            Cadd9                          D
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become
        G      Em7
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
           Cadd9                 D
Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree
G     Em7
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
                    Cadd9                      D
They showed me the locked doors I find another use for the key, and you'll see


[chorus]
Cadd9       G                D          D/A
  I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me
Cadd9            G                B7        Em7
  but with that said give me one more, higher
Cadd9          D                Em7
another one to take the sting away
     Cadd9       D                   Em7
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
          Cadd9        D           Em7
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
              Cadd9          D
and I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser


[Verse]
                             Em7
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs
             Cadd9                               D
I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong
  G          Em7
I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell
Cadd9                         D                          G
Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well
     Em7
and ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
                Cadd9                       D
because you're living your dream, man, this shit should be fun
       G         Em7
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run
           Cadd9                          D
I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become
       Em7
Our conversations with my father on the A14
Cadd9                             D
age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
 G      Em7
Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me
        Cadd9                             D
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans
        Em7
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thousand
            Cadd9                   D
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud
     G     Em7
and to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
          Cadd9                            D
The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now, somehow


[chorus]
Cadd9       G                D          D/A
  I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me
Cadd9            G                B7        Em7
  But with that said give me one more, higher
Cadd9          D                Em7
Another one to take the sting away
     Cadd9       D                   Em7
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
          Cadd9        D           Em7
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
              Cadd9          D       Em7
and I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
              Cadd9          D       Em7
and I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
              Cadd9          D
and I'll find comfort in my pain eraser


Em7
  Welcome to the new show
Cadd9    D
  I guess you know I've been away
Em7
  but where I'm heading, who knows
Cadd9    D
  but my heart will stay the same
Em7
  Welcome to the new show
Cadd9    D
  I guess you know I've been away
Em7
  but where I'm heading, who knows
Cadd9
  My pain eraser


[OUTRO]
              Cadd9          D       Em7
and I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
              Cadd9          D       Em7
and I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
              Cadd9          D       Em7
and I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
              Cadd9          D
and I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
