Ed Sheeran - Afire Love

[intro]
F  Bb  Gm  C

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

Either way I'll cry with the rest of them

[pre-chorus]
Bb      F         Dm
And my father told me son
F
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
Bb         F            Dm
And you're not the only one
            Bb       F            C
Although my grandma used to say, he used to sing

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

[instrumental]
F  Gm  Bb  C

[verse]
Dm                           C  F
Things were all good yesterday
                                      C  Bb
And then the devil took your breath away
                           F Bb
And now we're left here in pain
                                       Dm
Black suit black tie standing in the rain
                           C F
And now my family is one again
                                             C Bb
Stapled together with the strangers and a friend

Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen
C
Six years old I remember when

[pre-chorus]
Bb      F         Dm
And my father told me son
F
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
Bb         F            Dm
And you're not the only one
            Bb       F            C
Although my grandma used to say, he used to sing

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

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

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