Photograph - Ed Sheeran

A beautiful song by Ed Sheeran which he co-wrote with Snow Patrol member Johnny Mcdaid.

This song originated from a piano loop. The fact that Ed Sheeran does a lot with a loop can be heard in

That Ed Sheeran does a lot with a loop can be heard in several of his songs by the recurring chord progressions. Besides the lead, this song is mainly built up from power chords (hence the 5 in the chord names). The song is mostly played with Palm Mute (muting the strings by putting your right hand with the palm on the strings).

Lyrics:

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes But it's the only thing that I know When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes It is the only thing makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Hearts are never broken And time's forever frozen, still

So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul And it's the only thing that I know, know I swear it will get easier Remember that with every piece of ya Hmm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die

Hmm, we keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Hearts were never broken And time's forever frozen, still

So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet You won't ever be alone

And if you hurt me That's okay, baby, only words bleed Inside these pages, you just hold me And I won't ever let you go Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home

Oh, you can fit me Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen Next to your heartbeat where I should be Keep it deep within your soul

And if you hurt me Well, that's okay, baby, only words bleed Inside these pages, you just hold me And I won't ever let you go

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"
