Verse:

            C majorC                A minorAm
Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
              G MajorG                      FF
But it's the only thing that I know
              C majorC                         A minorAm
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
           G MajorG                                FF
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive


Pre Chorus:
A minorAm                      FF
We keep this love in a photograph
C majorC                         G MajorG
We made these memories for ourselves
          A minorAm                      FF
Where our eyes are never closing, hearts are never broken
C majorC                           G MajorG
And time's forever frozen still

Chorus:
           C majorC
So you can keep me
                           G MajorG
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
                           A minorAm
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
                   FF
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

Verse:
            C majorC                 A minorAm
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
               G MajorG                           FF
And it's the only thing that I know, know
                       C majorC                                A minorAm
I swear it will get easier, remember that with every piece of you
               G MajorG                                     FF
And it's the only thing we take with us when we die


Pre Chorus:
A minorAm                           FF
We keep this love in this photograph
C majorC                          G MajorG
We made these memories for ourselves
           A minorAm                      FF
Where our eyes are never closing, hearts are never broken
     C majorC                     G MajorG
And time's forever frozen still



Chorus:
           C majorC
So you can keep me

Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
                           A minorAm
Holding me closer ’til our eyes meet
                   FF
You won’t ever be alone


            C majorC
And if you hurt me
                        G MajorG
That’s okay baby, only words bleed
                            A minorAm
Inside these pages you just hold me
                          FF
And I won’t ever let you go
                       A minorAm
Wait for me to come home
                        FF
Wait for me to come home
                        C majorC
Wait for me to come home
                        Gsus4Gsus4
Wait for me to come home


        C majorC
You can fit me
                                          G MajorG
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
                                A minorAm
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
                          FF
Keep it deep within your soul
            C majorC
And if you hurt me
                              G MajorG
Well, that’s okay baby, only words bleed
                             A minorAm
Inside these pages you just hold me
                         FF
And I won’t ever let you go


         C majorC single chord
When I’m away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
"Wait for me to come home."

Photograph tab

The guitar tabs and chords below are for the song “Photograph” by Ed Sheeran which you can find on his second album simply called “X”. The album got good reviews and includes many catchy songs, so this is the fifth single of five. The promotional video to the song is old home taped video of Ed recorded during his childhood. It is fun and personal to see.

Photograph starts with strums of the acoustic guitar, the guitar chord progression, as you can see below, is very common in modern pop music. The lyrics deals with a long-distance relationship Sheeran once had with a Scottish singer called Nina Nesbitt.
