Ed Sheeran – Eraser

|G#m    |E    F#   |G#m    |E    F#   |

                   |G#m                                  |
I was born inside a small town, I 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#                        |
Show me the locked doors, I find another use of key, and you'll see

|E           B              |F#                 C#m                |
   I'm well aware of certain things that will destroy a man like me
|E               B               |F#  Eb/G    |
   But with that said give me one more, higher

|G#m  |E            F#                 |G#m   |E           F#                    |
     Another one to take the sting away,  I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
|G#m         |E           F#             |G#m            |E             F#          |24F#  |
    Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day,  and I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser
 
                            |44G#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's 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#                 C#m             |
   I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me
|E               B               |F#   Eb/G      |
   But with that said give me one more,    higher

|G#m  |E            F#                 |G#m   |E           F#                    |
     Another one to take the sting away,  I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
|G#m        |E           F#             |G#m            |E             F#          |
   Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day,  and I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

|G#m            |E             F#          |G#m            |E             F#          |
   And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser,  and I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

   But where I'm heading, who knows,  but my heart will stay the same
|G#m                      |E   F#                           |
