Huge fan of Ed, this tab was made by ear based off the live debut he did in

Paris

The F chord is played a bit differently than the normal barre chord by

placing the thumb over and behind the

neck of the guitar to fret the first fret of the low E string and the other

fingers positioned like a C chord

Chords in brackets( ) are transition chords which aren't necessary to play

but add some spice to your playing!

There is one tricky section towards the end of the choruses. The Dadd9 chord

is a C chord moved up two frets

and played like you would a C. The A minor chord after the Dadd9 can be

played as a barre for

advance players but will still work with the open chord version too!

[Verse 1]
Am G (Am) F
I came in for the embers, I stayed out for the breeze
C G (Am)
I need to feel, elements to remind me
F
There's beauty when it's bleak
Am G F F
I struck out long before lights down, when do I breathe?

[Chorus]
F
Oh I know,
Dm C G F
The more that I love the less that I feel
Dm C G F
The times that I jumped never were real
Dm C G F
The say that all scars will heal but I know
Am G F
But maybe I wont
C Dadd9 Am G F
But the waves won't break my boat
