♦ Ed Sheeran leaves his picky finger on the 3rd fret of the low e string
for the C, Am7 and Fsus2 chords.
♦ He slides up from C to what looks like a Dsus4 chord shape (x50035)
during the Pre-Chorus, Chorus and Bridge sections. See example below:
_C_______Dsus4____Am7______Fsus2__ e|-3-3-3-3/5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-| B|-1-1-1-1/3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1--1-1-1-1-| G|-0-0-0-0/0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-| D|-2-2-2-2/0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2--3-3-3-3-| A|-3-3-3-3/5-5-5-5--0-0-0-0----------| E|-----------------------------------|
♦ But you can play Dm7 (or Dm) instead of Dsus4.
♦ In the lyrics "Cham cham chamke sitare wargi" is a punjabi phrase
meaning "They sparkle just like stars"
♦ N.C. = No chords played

[Verse 2]
C Look what we found, Karma reached out C Into our hearts and pulled us to our feet now C You know the truth is we could disappear C N.C. Anywhere, as long as I got you there C When the sun dies, till the day shines C When I'm with you, there's not enough time C You are my spring flower, watching you bloom, wow C We are surrounded but I can only see
