Spiral chords by Ed Sheeran

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

NOTE:
The first verse is played by picking the strings.
Technically the first chorus is as well, but since the song stars
using bigger piano chords there, you could choose to just start
strumming guitar chords instead.
For both, the picking is this:

Intro:

   Am            Fmaj7         C              G

h - Hammer on

Verse:
        Am            F
Would you call the police
   C               G
If I don't answer anything?
        Am           F
How did I get this deep?
  C                    G
I guess I'll just keep digging in
         Am           F
I've been up losing sleep
    C             G
Overthinking everything
       Am             F
Are you reaching for me?
  C              G
Am I just not listening?

Chorus:
Am       F                C      G
 Oh, I just can't help but spiral
       Am          F              C              G
Is the chaos simply fueled to make me feel something?
    Am       F                 C     G
And, oh, I just can't break this cycle
      Am         G           F                  F
Going 'round and 'round, I'm downward spiraling
NC
Here I go again

Post-chorus:
Am Am F F C C G G
Down, down, down

Verse:
         Am                F
Fill the glass, drink, repeat
        C              G
It's the usual way I deal with it
      Am        F
Oh, I try therapy
       C             G
But I don't feel any different
          Am             F
Scream it out, then release
       C              G
Are the problems insignificant
           Am           F
If you're seeing somebody?
        C                   G
And the grass is greener, isn't it?

Chorus:
Am       F                C     G
 Oh, I just can't help but spiral
       Am          F                C            G
Is the chaos simply fueled to make me feel something?
    Am       F                  C    G
And, oh, I just can't break this cycle
      Am                 F                         C        G
And I try to patch these cracks but the dark keeps creeping in
      Am         G           F                  F
Going 'round and 'round, I'm downward spiraling
F
Here I go again

Post-chorus:
Am    Am
Down, down
   F   F
Here I go again
C  C   G G
Down, down

Bridge:
Am                     Am             F
Late night tossing and turning in my, my bed
   F                     C
Constant thoughts in my, my head
 C                   G
I'll keep worrying 'til I'm dead
 G
I'll keep worrying
Am                     Am             F
Late night tossing and turning in my, my bed
   F                     C
Constant thoughts in my, my head
 C                   G
I'll keep worrying 'til I'm dead
 G
I'll keep worrying

Chorus:
Am       F                C     G
 Oh, I just can't help but spiral
       Am          F                C            G
Is the chaos simply fueled to make me feel something?
    Am       F                  C    G
And, oh, I just can't break this cycle
      Am                 F                         C        G
And I try to patch these cracks but the dark keeps creeping in
      Am         G           F                  F
Going 'round and 'round, I'm downward spiraling

Here I go again
