Ed Sheeran - Don’t: Guitar Chords

  Fm             C
I met this girl late last year,
She said:
C#                   D#
Don’t you worry if I disappear,
I told her:
Fm                           C
I’m not really looking for another mistake.
            C#
I called an old friend thinking
         D#
That the trouble would wait,

           Fm
But then I jumped right in,
        C
A week later returned,
         C#
I reckon she was only looking
      D#
For a lover to burn.
      Fm
But I gave her my time
      C
For two or three nights
           C#
And then I put it on pause
          D#
Until the moment was right.

        Fm       C
I went away for months
  C#                     D#
Until our paths crossed again,
She told me,
Fm                          C
I was never looking for a friend,
                C#
Maybe you could swing
                  D#
By my room around ten,
                Fm
Baby, bring the lemon
                 C
And a bottle of gin
                        C#
We’ll be in between the sheets
                D#
Till the late A.M.,
                    Fm
Baby, if you wanted me
                           C
Then you should have just said.
She’s singing:

Chorus:
     C#          D#
     Ah, la, mm, la, la.
                        Fm
     Don’t fuck with my love,
           C          C#
     That heart is so cold,
         D#      Fm
     All over my home,
                     C
     I don’t wanna know that, babe.

     C#          D#
     Ah, la, mm, la, la.
                        Fm
     Don’t fuck with my love,
        C            C#
     I told her she knows,
          D#        Fm
     Take aim and reload.
                     C
     I don’t wanna know that, babe.
     C#          D#
     Ah, la, la, la, la.

And for a couple weeks I only wanna see her,
We drink away
The days with a takeaway pizza.
Before a text
Message was the only way to reach her,
Now she’s staying at my place
And loves the way I treat her.

Singing out Aretha
All over the track like a feature
And never wants to sleep,
I guess that I don’t want to either.
But me and her,
We make money the same way,
Four cities, two planes the same day.

And those shows
Have never been what it’s about,
But maybe we’ll go together
And just figure it out.
I’d rather put on a film with you
And sit on a couch,
But we should get a plane
Or we’ll be missing it now.
Wish I’d have written it down,
The way that things played out.
When she was kissing him
Low I was confused about.
But she should figure it out
While I’m sat here singing:

Chorus

Knock, knock, knock, on my hotel door,
I don’t even know if she knows what for.
She was
Crying on my shoulder, I already told ya,
Trust and respect
Is what we do this for.

I never intended to be next,
But you didn’t need
To take him to bed, that’s all.
And I never saw him as a threat,
Until you disappeared
With him to have sex, of course.

It’s not like we were both on tour,
We were staying on the same
Fucking hotel floor
And I wasn’t looking
For a promise or commitment
But it was never just fun
And I thought you were different.
This is not the way
You realise what you wanted
It’s a bit too much, too late, if I’m honest.
And all this time, God knows I’m singing:

Chorus - x2
