Em *
I was born inside a small town, I've lost that state of mind
G/B * C D *
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nine
Em *
I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride
G/B * C * D *
The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind
Em *
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life
G/B * C * D *
Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride
Em *
And when the world's against me is when I really come alive
G/B * C D *
And every day that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride
Em Em G/B
You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs
C Dadd4 G *
I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun
Em G/B
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
C Dadd4 G *
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become
Em G/B
I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
C Dadd4
Without a nine-to-five job or a uni degree
Em G/B
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
C Dadd4
They showed me the locked doors I find another use of key
And you'll see
[Chorus 1]

C Dadd4 G * Em G/B
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay

Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day

And I'll find comfort in my pain

Em G/B
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs
C Dadd4 G *
I chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrong
Em G/B
I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell
C Dadd4 G *
Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well
Em G/B
And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
C Dadd4 G *
Because you're living your dream, man, this shit should be fun
Em G/B
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run
C Dadd4 G *
I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become
Em G/B
Our conversations with my father on the A14
C Dadd4 G *
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
Em G/B
Now I'm playing for the people, Dad, and they know me
C Dadd4 G *
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans
Em G/B
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thou
C D G *
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud
Em G/B
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
C D
The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now
C
Somehow

G/B * C *
I woke up this morning lookin' in the mir - ror
D * Em *
Thinkin' to myself that I should probably be thinner
G/B *
The industry told me to look like them
C * D *
But I found my happiness in fried food for my dinner
Em * G/B *
I wish that she could have been my first time
C * D *
And I wish that I'd never took that first line
Em G/B *
And I wish that every word in this verse rhymed
C * D *
But forgive me if it doesn't
Em
I wish that I could make peace with my older cousin
G/B C
I wish he didn't think that it was me when it wasn't
D G * Em
I wish I didn't love it when I'm high and my face feels buzzin'
G/B C D
And the taste stays underneath my tongue, and
G * Em
Wish that I had known what to do as a youngling
G/B C D
Wish I hadn't dropped out of school and missed every single party
G * Em G/B
With that hardly matters now, man, does it?
C D G *
Wish I had an answer to everything, but fuck it
Em G/B
I wish creatin' art didn't come with a budget
C
But while we're on the subject
D G * Em
I wish my private life would have never gone public
G/B
But that's the sacrifice that we make
C D G *
Spendin' my whole time high livin' life away

Em * G/B *
I wish my family and friends, they stay healthy
C * D *
I wish that love was a currency and the whole world was wealthy
Em G/B
I found myself late night wishin' on a star
C D G * Em
Everyday I wish I'd never broken a heart, uh
G/B
And I wish I'd never run through
C D G * Em
Every woman that I loved that kept my life and what it's come to
G/B
I wish I was the role model you looked up to
C D Em
If I told my fans the things I did they'd say, "Fuck you"
G/B
I wish I was home more
C D G * Em
I wish my team could see their kids on their birthdays, but yo, we're on tour
G/B
And I wish I'd grow more, wish I told more
c D G * Em*
People that I love 'em but it's in the music that I'm known for
G/B*
And I wish he never got cancer
C * D *
And if I smoke a pack a day, well, does that make me a wanker?
Em G/B C
Oh yes, I guess it does, and we're still stressing 'cause
D G * Em
Every day this shit gets the best of us
G/B
Usin' my balance on razor blades
C D G *
Spendin' my whole time high wishing life would wait

I'm using jumpers for goalposts, cigarettes for throat cold
D * Em*
Mum sayin', "Don't smoke," no, I don't listen, I got
G/B * C *
Love for a ghost note, shows on the gold coast
D *
People that I don't know share the same vision
Em * C *
I find truth in the hard times and words that aren't mine
D *
Tryin' to find a love with a compatible star sign
Em * G/B * C *
Sometimes I can't write, sentences can't rhyme
D * G * Em
Starin' at my notepad quick, I'm tryin' to find mine
G/B
Shit quick before I hit it again
C D G *
Surrounded in the industry by all these ignorant men
Em G/B
And who knew that I'd be paid just to pick up a pen
C D G *
Just let me hit the studio when we can rip it again
Em G/B
I'm a competitive dick with an adrenaline kick
C D
My daddy told me, "Work hard and you can never be shit"
Em
I've seen all my heroes dethroned except my dad
C C F# *
Set back here reminiscing 'bout the times we had
Em
One wish
