• Song:

    Im A Mess

  • Artist:

    Ed Sheeran

I was frustrated that all the chords I could find for this song were way off so I figured out the
right chords and thought I should share them.

*In the studio version Ed tunes the guitar down half a step, but live he tunes it down a full step

         C#m
Oh, I'm a mess right now
           B
Inside out
                E              
Searching for a sweet surrender
    A               E
But this is not the end
       F#m   C#m                    B           
I can't      work it out, how-ow-ow-ow?
                  E
Going through the motions
A              B
Going through us

    A                                    E
And though I've known it for the longest time
              B
And all of my hope
          A                                 
All of my words 
        E
Are all over written on the signs
                 B               Asus2 
But you?re on my road walking me home, home, home, home, home

C#m7                     Bsus4
See the flames inside my eyes
            Asus2
It burns so bright
                  E        F#m
I wanna feel your love, no
C#m7                 Bsus4
Easy baby maybe I?m alive
         Asus2                 E
Before tonight I wanna fall in love
             F#m       A
And put your faith in my stomach

         C#m
I fucked up this time
          B
Late last night
                E
Drinking to suppress devotion
      A           E
With fingers intertwined
       F#m C#m                   B
I can't    shake this feeling now
                          E
We?re going through the motions
A              B
Hoping you'd stop

    A                                     E
And though I?ve only caused you pain, you know,
              B
That all of my words will always be love
A                      E   
Although all the lies spoke
                  B               Asus2
When you?re on my road walking me home, home, home, home, home


C#m7                     Bsus4
See the flames inside my eyes
            Asus2
It burns so bright
                  E        F#m
I wanna feel your love, no
C#m7                 Bsus4
Easy baby maybe I?m alive
         Asus2                 E
Before tonight I wanna fall in love
             F#m       A
And put your faith in my stomach


    C#m E   B           Asus2  E  B C#m (continue same chords)
And for how long I love        my lover
For how long I love my lover
And now, now, for how long, long I love my lover
Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover (and I feel loved)
For how long, long I love my lover
I feel it all over now, now and I feel loved
For how long, long I love my lover
Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved
For how long, long I love my lover
Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover
Feel it all over now
For how long I love my lover
Now now
For how long, long I love my lover

*I don't know how to put tabs at the end for the bass notes he plays but if you watch my 
tutorial video I can show you the notes. They're pretty much the same as the chords but without 
the final E chord.
