Bloodstream – Ed Sheeran

Having watched Ed play this live using capo 4 it seems the only way to get those notes 
is to tune the G (3rd) string down to E. After that..it’s all gravy!

Capo 4

Lyrics and Structure
____________________

Verse 1

I've been spinning out for time
Couple women by my side
I got sinnin' on my mind
Sipping on red wine
I've been sitting here for ages
Ripping out pages
How'd I get so faded
How'd I get so faded

Pre–Chorus

Ohhh,no no don't leave me lonely now
If you love me how
You never loved me
Ohhh, Color crimson in my eyes
Wanted to could free my mind

Chorus

This is how it ends                            
I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream    
Fading out again                               
I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream    
                                               
So tell me when it kicks in                    
Well tell when it kicks in                     

Verse 2

I've been looking for a love
Thought I'd find it really boring
God make me another one
I'll be feeling this tomorrow
Lord forgive me for the things I've done
I was never meant to hurt no one
And I saw scars upon her broken hearted dove

Pre–Chorus and Chorus

All the voices in my mind
Calling out across the land
