Diary chords by Ed Sheeran

Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 5th

Verse:
 E minorEm                    C majorC
Your love is the strongest thing I know


I reckon it's been doing weights
 G+G
Eating raw eggs and cereal

   D MajorD
And running ten miles a day


 E minorEm
And your love has a driving ban

           C majorC
From tryin' to steer intoxicated with another love inside your hands

          G+G
And your love is a friend of mine

            D MajorD
So I'll take good care tonight

Pre-chorus:
 E minorEm
If you could only say the words


I'll take em and I'll write em down
 C majorC
And hold it deep inside of me


Until the day you found me out
 G+G
But I know your love

 D MajorD
That's why


Chorus:

  E minorEm
I can be your diary

       C majorC
Baby if you open me up

     G+G
Keep it inside me

          D MajorD
I'll give you the world, just give me the words (x2)

Verse:
 E minorEm
And your love, has never been my enemy

 C majorC
It used to hold me and promise it would never leave

G+G (one strum)
Never been better since all the therapy
   D MajorD
To read the words between the lines and take away my melody

 E minorEm        C majorC
And your love told me it was fallin' through a different page

 G+G
And you know if I let you go

 D MajorD
I'll still keep you safe


Pre-chorus:
 E minorEm
If you could only say the words


I'll take em and I'll write em down
 C majorC
And hold it deep inside of me


Until the day you found me out
 G+G
But I know your love

 D MajorD
That's why


Chorus:

  E minorEm
I can be your diary

       C majorC
Baby if you open me up

     G+G
Keep it inside me

          D MajorD
I'll give you the world, just give me the words (x2)


Verse:
 E minorEm
You are the one I fall asleep with


But never wake up to
 C majorC
Cos work is something you must do

              G+G
I trust you like you trust me


This must be true love
  D MajorD
It does exactly what it says on the tin, let me begin

       E minorEm
You are the one I watch the movies with

               C majorC
And recognising my love for Keira Knightley for what it truly is

           G+G
It's just an excuse so I don't have to watch Love Actually again

                    D MajorD
But we're actually the same it's just despite me

      E minorEm
And we eat ice cream with fishes in it


Until the dishes finish
 C majorC
Play computer games although I know I'll never win it

         G+G
I tried to make tea once for you in bed

          D MajorD
But all I did was spill it so you made it for me instead

 E minorEm                      C majorC
Let me in bed if you get in ahead me it's better to do


Yeah love is a hell of a truth
    G+G
And in love we are better in two


I've been a newcomer
 D MajorD
So I can never see the devil in you


Chorus:
 E minorEm
Diary

       C majorC
Baby if you open me up

     G+G
Keep it inside me

          D MajorD
I'll give you the world, just give me the words, hey


That's it, pretty basic song. You can move the capo around to suit your voice,
capo on 5 works well. Enjoy!
