Shape of You | Chords + Lyrics

Intro

||: C#m F#m7 | A (Bsus4) B :||

Verse 1

||: C#m F#m7 | A (Bsus4) B :||
The club isn’t the best place to find a lover so the bar is where I go.
Me and my friends at the table doing shots drinking fast and then we talk slow.
And you come over and start up a conversation with just me and trust me I’ll give it a chance now.
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox and then we start to dance, and now I’m singing like.

I’m in love with the shape of you, we push and pull like a magnet do.
Although my heart is falling too, I’m in love with your body.
And last night you were in my room and now my bedsheets smell like you.
Every day discovering something brand new, I’m in love with your body.

Leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat, tell the driver make the radio play, and I’m singing like.

Shape of You chords, progressions, and TAB

Ed Sheeran’s biggest hit, Shape of You reached the #1 spot in 34 countries in 2017, selling over 40 million copies.

Due to the inspiration being No Scrubs by TLC, Ed gave some of the publishing to the girls who wrote it, something he didn’t agree to do with Marvin Gaye‘s estate for Thinking Out Loud which is (perhaps even more) similar to Let’s Get It On.

Shape of You is built around a four-chord progression and common tones, creating a never-ending loop that is only varied by either stopping or adding a temporary layer.

This style of production is most likely influenced by Ed’s use of the loop pedal, something he became famous for doing and has since stuck with.

As a member, we analyze how this arrangement is using common tones, how this can be adjusted into a one acoustic guitar part, and also developed.
