Ed Sheeran – Boat
Key: B Major BPM: ♩ = 103 Time: 4/4 
|G#m              |F#    |E                   |E     |
   Came in for the embers,  stayed out for the breeze
         |G#m               |F#     |E                         |E    |
I need to feel elements to remind me,  there’s beauty when it’s bleak
|G#m        |F#                     |E         |E       |
   Stuck out long before lights down,  why do I breathe?

    |E                    |B/D#     F#         |E                     |B/D#   F#        |
Oh I know, the more that I love the less that I feel, the times that I jumped never were
|E                      |B/D#       F#        |E   |G#m  F#     |E    |
 real, they say that all scars will heal but I know,     maybe I won’t

       |B     B/C#   |B/D#   F#/A#  |E   |E   |
But the waves won’t   break  my      boat
       |B     B/C#   |B/D#   F#/A#  |E   |E   |
But the waves won’t   break  my      boat

|G#m                      |F#       |E                          |E    |
   The stones crash on the boardwalk,  the wind rush through the trees
              |G#m                        |F#        |E                      |E   |
I keep my eyes peeled, the memories always fall short,  of what we could have been
|G#m     |F#                   |E          |E    |
 Left out long before last call,  what do I need?

    |E                    |B        F#         |E                     |B      F#        |
Oh I know, the more that I love the less that I feel, the times that I jumped never were
|E                      |B          F#        |E   |G#m  F#     |E    |
 real, they say that all scars will heal but I know,     maybe I won’t

       |B     B/C#   |B/D#   F#/A#  |E   |E   |
But the waves won’t   break  my      boat
       |B     B/C#   |B/D#   F#/A#  |E   |E   |
But the waves won’t   break  my      boat
       |B     B/C#   |B/D#   F#/A#  |E   |E   |
But the waves won’t   break  my      boat
   |B     B/C#   |B/D#   F#/A#  |E   |E   |
The waves won’t   break  my      boat

|E                |B        F#         |E                     |B      F#        |
   The more that I love the less that I feel, the times that I jumped never were
|E                      |B          F#        |E   |G#m  F#     |E    |
 real, they say that all scars will heal but I know,     maybe I won’t

       |B     B/C#   |B/D#   F#/A#  |E   |
And the waves won’t   break  my      boat
