Ed Sheeran – Wake Me up
Key: A Major BPM: ♩ = 105 Time: 4/4
|A     |A     |A     |A     |

|A                     |A               |D   |D   |
   I should ink my skin   with your name
   |A                         |A           |D    |D   |
And take my passport out again,  and just replace it
            |A                     |A                                      |D         |D   |
See, I could do without a tan on my left hand, where my fourth finger meets my knuckle
            |A                 |A                            |D   |D   |
And I should run you a hot bath,  and fill it up with bubbles

      |D                         |E                        |
'Cause maybe you're loveable, and maybe you're my snowflake
        |A                                          |D                            |
And your eyes turn from green to gray, in the winter I’ll hold you in a cold place
   |D                                       |E                                 |A       |D   |
And you should never cut your hair, ’cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder
   |D                           |E                      |A   |D   |
And you will never know just how beautiful you are to me
   |D                              |E      |A   |A   |
But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up

|A                               |A                           |
   And would you ever feel guilty,  if you did the same to me?
|D                               |E                                  |
   Could you make me a cup of tea,  to open my eyes in the right way?
|A                          |A                                  |
   And I know you love Shrek,  because we've watched it 12 times
|D                              |E            |
   But maybe you're hoping for a fairytale too
           |A           |A                           |
And if your DVD breaks today, you should've got a VCR
|D                                  |E         |
  'Cause I've never owned a Blue-Ray,  true say
            |A                                           |A                      |
And now I've always been shit at computer games, and your brother always beats me
        |D                                        |E                 |
And if I lost, I'd go across, and chuck all the controllers at the TV
                       |A                                    |A             |
And then you'd laugh at me, and be asking me, if I'm gonna be home next week
                       |D                    |
And then you'd lie with me 'til I fall asleep
              |E                                  |
And flutter eyelash on my cheek between the sheets

   |D                           |E                      |A   |D   |
And you will never know just how beautiful you are to me
   |D                              |E      |A   |A   |
But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up

|A                                        |A                                  |
   And I think you hate the smell of smoke,  you always try and get me to stop
|D                        |E                      |
   You drink as much as me,  and I get drunk a lot
|A                           |A               |
   So I take you to the beach,  and walk along
   |D                                       |E   |
the sand, and I’ll, make you a heart pendant
                             |A                                  |A   |
With a pebble held in my hand,  and I'll carve it like a necklace
                                      |D                                        |E    |
So the heart falls where your chest is,  and now a piece of me is a piece of the beach
                                                |A           |
And it falls just where it needs to be and rests   peacefully
                   |A                               |D                 |E        |
So you just need to breathe to feel my heart against yours now, against yours now

      |D                              |E      |F#m   |A   |
'Cause maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
  |D                              |E      |F#m        |A   |
Or maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up, oh-woah
    |D                            |E      |A   |
Mmm, maybe I fell in love when you woke me up
