Eraser (Live) [Extended F64 Version] Chords Ed Sheeran
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
