Ed Sheeran – What Do I Know?
Key: E Major BPM: ♩ = 115 Time: 4/4
|E                 B/D#     |C#m         B   |A             G#m        |A         B   |
   Ain’t got a soapbox I can stand upon, but  god gave me a stage, a guitar and a song
  |E              B/D#     |C#m              B   |A             G#m         |A        B       |
My daddy told me, son don’t you get involved in   politics, religions, other peoples’ quarrels

|A                   C#m     |B          E    |
   I’ll paint the picture let me set the scene
 |A                    C#m            |B            E    |
I know when I have children, they will know what it means
   |A                          C#m  |B             E       |A                         |B     |
And I’ll pass on the things my fami- ly’s given to me, just love and understanding positivity

        |E                 B/D#      |C#m       B   |
We could change this whole world with a  piano, add
 |A             G#m        |A         B        |
a bass, some guitar, grab a beat and away we go
|E            B/D#    |C#m              B   |A      G#m    |A        B         |
   I’m just a boy with a  one man show, no  university no degree but lord knows
|E               B/D#     |C#m                 B   |
 Everybody’s talking about exponential growth, and
   |A               G#m      |A             B   |
the stock market crashing and their portfolios 
     |E               B/D#       |C#m               B     |
While I’ll be sitting here with a song that I wrote saying
|A                           G#m  |A           B              |
 Love could change the world in a  moment, but what do I know?

|E    B/D#    |C#m   B    |A                         G#m  |A           B              |
                           Love can change the world in a  moment, but what do I know? 
|E    B/D#    |C#m   B    |A                         G#m  |A     B   |
                           Love can change the world in a  moment

     |E             B/D#     |C#m            B   |A             G#m         |A         B   |
The revolution’s coming, it’s a minute away, I    saw people marching in the streets today
|E                 B/D#   |C#m               B   |A                  G#m      |A       B    |
   You know we are made up of love and hate, but  both of them are balanced on a razor blade

|A                   C#m     |B          E    |
   I’ll paint the picture let me set the scene
 |A                    C#m   |B            E     |
I know, I’m all for people following their dreams
    |A             C#m    |B                    E          |A                         |B     |
Just remember life is more than fitting in your jeans, it’s love and understanding positivity

        |E                 B/D#      |C#m       B   |
We could change this whole world with a  piano, add
 |A             G#m        |A         B        |
a bass, some guitar, grab a beat and away we go

   I’m just a boy with a  one man show, no  university no degree but lord knows
|E              B/D#      |C#m                 B   |
 Everybody’s talking about exponential growth, and
   |A               G#m      |A            B   |

                           Love can change the world in a moment, but what do I know? 
|E    B/D#    |C#m   B    |A                   G#m       |A     B   |
