Ed Sheeran – Afire Love
Key: D Minor BPM: ♩ = 98 Time: 4/4
|Dm     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |
|Dm     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |
|Dm     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |

|Dm                          |Dm                                      |
   Things were all good yesterday, and then the devil took your memory
|Bb                               |Bb                                     |
   And if you fell to your death today, I hope that heaven is your resting
|Dm                                          |F   |
 place, I heard the doctors put your chest in pain
                                   |Gm                                    |C   |
But then that could've been the medicine, and now you're lying in the bed again

                                     |Bb           Am7   |Dm     |
Either way, I'll cry with the rest of them, and my father told me
                  |Gm                             |F   |
“Son, it's not his fault he doesn't know your face
|Bb        Am7       |Dm       |
   And you're not the only one”
           |Gm                 |C                     |
Although my grandma used to say,  that he used to sing

|Dm                        |Bb                             |
   Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night
|Bb               |C                           |
   And we'll lie inside for a little while here
|Dm                        |Bb                      |
 Oh, I could look into your eyes until the sun comes
|Bb                      |C                 |
 up, and we're wrapped in light and life and
|Dm                         |Bb                           |
 love, put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
|Bb             |C                    |
   For they're designed to be together
|Dm                        |Bb                               |
 Oh, with your body next to mine, our hearts will beat as one
|Bb              |C                 |
   And we're set alight, we're afire

|Dm   |Bb        |Gm     |C     |
 love, love, love

|Dm                              |Dm                                           |
   And things were all good yesterday, but then the devil took your breath away
|Bb                              |Bb                                               |
   And now we're left here in the pain, black suit, black tie, standing in the rain
|Dm                         |F                                              |
   And now my family is one again, stapled together with the strangers and a
|Gm                                               |C   |
 friend, came to my mind, I should paint it with a pen

                              |Bb   Am7         |Dm     |
Six years old, I remember when,        my father told me
                  |Gm                             |F   |
“Son, it's not his fault he doesn't know your face
|Bb        Am7       |Dm       |
   And you're not the only one”
           |Gm                 |C                     |
Although my grandma used to say,  that he used to sing

|Dm                        |Bb                             |
   Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night
|Bb               |C                           |
   And we'll lie inside for a little while here
|Dm                        |Bb                      |
 Oh, I could look into your eyes until the sun comes
|Bb                      |C                 |
 up, and we're wrapped in light and life and
|Dm                         |Bb                           |
 love, put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
|Bb             |C                    |
   For they're designed to be together
|Dm                        |Bb                               |
 Oh, with your body next to mine, our hearts will beat as one
|Bb              |C                 |
   And we're set alight, we're afire

|Dm   |Bb        |Bb                                 |C       |
 love, love, love,  see the love, the love, the love, the love
|Dm                                 |Bb      |
   See the love, the love, the love, the love
|Bb                                 |C       |
   See the love, the love, the love, the love

      |Dm                  |Bb                     |Bb                  |C   |
And my father and all of my family, rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
      |Dm                  |Bb                     |Bb                  |C   |
And my mother and all of my family, rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
      |Dm                   |Bb                     |Bb                  |C   |
And my brother and all of my family, rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
      |Dm                  |Bb                     |Bb                  |C   |
And my father and all of my family, rise from their seats to sing hallelujah

|Dm     |Bb    |Bb                                |C       |
                  To the love, the love, the love, the love
|Dm                                |Bb      |
   To the love, the love, the love, the love
|Bb                                |C       |
   To the love, the love, the love, the love

|Dm     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |
|Dm     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |
|Dm     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |
