Ed Sheeran – Gold Rush
Key: E Major BPM: ♩ = 83 Time: 4/4
|E    F#m   |A     |E    F#m   |A     |

|E        F#m             |A    |E           F#m                      |A   |
   Smoke alarm went off at night,  I woke up wiped the sleep out of my eye
|E            F#m                  |A   |E                F#m             |A               |
   She left a note, I'll be back in five,  well I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive

   |C#m     A      |B                         |C#m            A      |B                       |
Hey,  I was told to put my job in front of you,  but it won't hold me like you do, but I do it

       |E                    F#m                      |A                         |
for the love, waiting on the gold rush, keep it on the edge, smoking on a roll up
             |E                       F#m           |A                               |
When I see my friends all they say is hold up, and remember the time, when we were in
|E                    F#m                      |A                                  |
 school, listening to grown ups, didn’t learn a thing, but then again you know what
               |E             F#m                |A                                            |
You know how to sing, but you don't know anything other than that, so maybe you should learn to

|E       F#m             |A                                 |
 love her  like, like the way, and maybe you should learn to
|E       F#m             |A                                 |
 love her  like, like the way, and maybe you should learn to
|E       F#m             |A                                 |
 love her  like, like the way, and maybe you should learn to
|E       F#m             |A                      |
 love her  like, like the way, you wanna be loved

|E         F#m            |A    |E             F#m            |A          |
   I never told her that I liked,  the way she dances slightly out of time
|E        F#m                |A                           |E            F#m             |A   |
   And pretends she knows the words, to a song she's never heard, but I tell her all the time

   |C#m          A      |B                         |C#m            A      |B          |
Hey,  well I was told to put my job in front of you,  but it won't hold me like you do

                   |E                    F#m                      |A                         |
But I do it for the love, waiting on the gold rush, keep it on the edge, smoking on a roll up
             |E                       F#m           |A                               |

|E    F#m   |A     |E    F#m   |A     |
