A Team by Ed Sheeran

     Notes:
     
     (1) the original key for this song is A, so you can either play the chords 
with a capo on the 2nd fret, which allows for nice open chords in G, C, Em, Am and 
D positions, or play in the key of A directly
     
     (2) to make it easy for you, I wrote the song twice, once in the key of A and 
once in the key of G, assuming a capo on the second fret; but you can just play it 
in G without a capo too and it may suit your voice better
     
     (3) the arrangement uses passing chords which I put in parenthesis such as (E/
G#) or (D/F#); these are as they sound, used in passing and are not absolutely 
necessary, as you will find if you play along with the song

     (4) this song is a little tricky to notate matching the lyrics, chords and 
rhythm, so it is pretty important to listen along to get the timing right

Key of A:
A                       (E/G#)
White lips, pale face, breathing in 
F#m                     (E/G#)
snowflakes, burnt lungs, sour 
A
taste...

A                       (E/G#)
Light's gone, day's end, struggling to 
F#m                     (E/G#)
pay rent, long nights, strange 
A
men...


Bm                             D
And they say she's in the Class A Team,
             A
Stuck in her daydream,
                    E                  
Been this way since 18, but lately, 
     Bm                        D
Her face seems slowly sinking, wasting,
                 A 
Crumbling like pastries, And they scream,
E
The worst things in life come free to us,

           F#m            D       
Cos we're just under the upperhand,
A
And go mad for a couple of grams,
F#m            D              
And she don't want to go 
A
outside tonight,
         F#m                          D
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,
    A
Or sells love to another man,
F#m       D
It's too cold outside,
A             (E/G#)
..For angels to 
F#m     D      
fly,
A       (E/G#)
... Angels to
F#m     D
fly,
A               (E/G#)
...

A                       (E/G#)
Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried to swim and 
F#m                     (E/G#)
stay afloat, dry house, wet 
A                       (E/G#)
clothes...

A                       (E/G#)
Loose change, bank notes, weary-eyed, dry 
F#m                     (E/G#)
throat, call girl, no 
A                       (E/G#)
