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]

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

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

Love for a ghost note, shows on the gold coast

Starin' at my notepad quick, I'm tryin' to find mine

Surrounded in the industry by all these ignorant men

And who knew that I'd be paid just to pick up a pen

Just let me hit the studio when we can rip it again
Em G/B
I'm a competitive dick with an adrenaline kick

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
