Sunburn Chords & Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Tuning: E Standard EADGBe (no capo)

This is the first song that I've tabbed, so please be nice in the comments!

*** It sounds better if you use the chord variations mentioned at the bottom of the page ***

______________________________

[G]You're not her
Though I try to see you [C]differently [D]
[G]I toe the line
See I'm searching for what [C]used to be, mi[D]ne ooohhhh
[G]I Saw your eyes
Then I saw her staring [C]back at me [D]
[G]And I will try
[G]To find another one who's [C]suited to me
As [D]well as her

[C]I've moved, [D]far away [Em]from you
[G]And I want to
[C]See you [D]here beside me [Em]dear
but things aren't [G]clear

[C]And we never even [D]tried
We never even [Em]talked
We never even [G]thought in the long run
[C]Whenever it was [D]painful
Whenever I was [Em]away
I'd [G]miss you
I miss you[C]

[G]She was mine

I was hers
And all that's [C]in between [D]
[G]if she would cry

I would shelter her
And [C]keep her from the darkness [D]that will be


[C]If I moved, [D]far away [Em]from you
[G]And I want to
[C]See you [D]here beside me [Em]dear
but things aren't [G]clear

[C]And we never even [D]tried
We never even [Em]talked
We never even [G]thought in the long run
[C]Whenever it was [D]painful
Whenever I was [Em]away
I'd [G]miss you
I miss you[C] [D]

[G]Don't trap me in, it's not my time
[C]If you cut me deep then I might lie

And if you
[Em]Scar and le[D]ave me, like a [G]sunburn [C]
[G]Don't trap me in, it's not my time
[C]if you cut deep then I might lie
[Em]And you
Scarred and [D]left me, like a sunburn [C]

[C]And we never even [D]tried
We never even [Em]talked
We never even [G]thought in the long run
[C]Whenever it was [D]painful
Whenever I was [Em]away
I'd [G]miss you
I miss you[C]

***Although the chords above are correct, use these variations in order to match
Ed's sound better: ***

For G chords use this:

e|x-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|9-------|
A|10------|
E|x-------|

For C chords use this:

e|x-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|2-------|
A|3-------|
E|x-------|

You can also use this slight variation as a C chord:
- Note: This works best if you're playing the other chords as regular chords.

For D chords use this:

e|x-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|4-------|
A|5-------|
E|x-------|

You can also use this slight variation as a D chord:
- Note: This works best if you're playing the other chords as regular chords.

e|0-------|
B|3-------|
G|0-------|
D|4-------|
A|5-------|
E|x-------|

For Em chords use this:

e|0-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|5-------|
A|7-------|

______________________________

^^^ These chords sound best if you play the root note and the one above it at the
same time, as this is what I think Ed does.
For example, if you wanted to play a G chord, on the first strum of the chord be
sure to emphasise these two notes:

e|--------|
B|--------|
G|--------|
D|9-------|
A|10------|
E|--------|

Hope that helped you learn a quality song! :)
