Ed Sheeran – Salt Water
Key: E Major BPM: ♩ = 74 Time: 4/4
|C#m                |A                      |E                                    |B    |
   Is this so far to go? And I can't feel my toes, when the rain soaks through the hills
                |C#m                                |A   |
And slips to the soul, yeah, the blades are two feet tall
                   |E                               |B    |
Awaiting green, I'm movin' forward to where God only knows

|C#m                       |A    |
   Feel the winds harsh for frame
                      |E                           |B                |
And the clouds grip my face, saying it's alright to run from all this
|C#m                        |A   |
 pain, oh, when it's time to go
                            |E                                   |B    |
With one last breathe that's in my lungs, I scream, "It's all for love”
                       |A    |
I scream, "It's all for love"

             |E     |Amaj7        |E                             |B    |
Come kiss me, salt water, oh, finally, I feel it, three or four degrees
           |E     |Amaj7           |E                   |B                   |
I'm free in salt water, embrace the deep end, leave everything, it was just a

|C#m                        |A   |
 dream, I can see it out the head
                       |E                              |B            |
Where the sky, we stand ground, and after that, there's only blue and
|C#m                        |A   |
 gray, I am filled up with regret
                    |E                                |B   |
With things I did or never said, just leave that well alone

                  |E     |Amaj7        |E                             |B    |
And, come kiss me, salt water, oh, finally, I feel it, three or four degrees
           |E     |Amaj7           |E                   |B                   |
I'm free in salt water, embrace the deep end, leave everything, it was just a

|F#m      |B                |C#m  |A   |
 dream, ah-ah, it was just a dream
             |F#m      |B                |E            |A            |
It was just a dream, ah-ah, it was just a dream, was it just a dream?

|C#m                      |A                |E                       |B    |
   Now I'm standing on the edge, gazing into Hell, or is it somethin' else?
            |C#m                           |A   |
I just can't tell, and when there's nothin' left
                   |E                                     |B    |
I close my eyes and take one step, and say, "Well, here it goes"
                   |A    |
Say, "Well, here it goes"

                  |E     |Amaj7        |E                             |B    |
And, come kiss me, salt water, oh, finally, I feel it, three or four degrees
           |E     |Amaj7           |E                   |B                   |
I'm free in salt water, embrace the deep end, leave everything, it was just a

|E     |Amaj7     |E     |B     |
 dream
