Key:
Dm
Singer/Band:
Ed Sheeran
Verse 1
DmI'm not a rapper; I'm a singer with a flow I've got a habit of spitting
quicker
lyrics you know
You found me rippiBbng the writtens out of the pages they sit in
and IC never want to get bitten because plagiarism is hidden
Watch howDm I sit on the rhythm, prisoner with a vision Signs of LA, but
didn't
listen to any criticism
BbThought you knew but you didn't so perk your ears up and listen
CStudio with a system and you could say that I'm driven
DmAnd now it's on to the next saga we drink the best lager, I never tried to
win you over like your stepfather
BbI do my own thing now, and get respect after
CAnd I'm avoiding cocaine like it was Get Carter
DmFor four years I never had a place to stay but it's safe to say that it
kept me grounded like a paperweight
BbAt 16 years old I moved out of my home
CI was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked
DmAnd we've been sleeping at the subway station, sleeping with a movie star
and
adding to the population
BbNot my imagination, I don't want to relax
CBut would it hurt your reputation,if I put it on wax? So take it back
now...
(Hook)
DmCome on and take it back noBbw
CCome on and take it back now
DmDont you fade into the back now Bb C
Verse 2:
DmTake it back with the rhythm and blues and my back pack I'll be singing
the news,
trying to act like Jack Black when I bring them to school
BbI'll make a beat with my feet by just singing a loop,
Cbringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes,
Dmand keeping the truth through the vocal booth, stars burst out on the
scene like an
opal fruit,
Bbthey try and take aim like beckham when he goes to shoot,
Cbut then again that's what they're supposed to do,
and DmI'm supposed to be calm,I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm, whispering
everything
that happens is from now on,
BbI'll be willing to start again at the end of the sonG
Cstill they think I handled it wronG
Dmbut then I never had an enemy, except for NME, but I'll be selling twice
as many copies
as the magazines will ever be,
Bband got me spectacles ahead of me and festival fees,
Cto help me with a Dalmatian, no pedigree
Dmsinging for the masses, rubber dinghy rapids,keep this rapping a habit and
keep on
passioning magic,
BbI'm battling for the respect,
CI don't know if I'll have it, this songs from the heart, grabbing the
plaque I'll
take it back now
(Hook)
DmMmm, come on and take it Bbback, love
CCome on and take it back for us
DmDon't you fade into the Bbback, love C
Verse 3:
DmI don't ever want to be perfect, Cause I'm a singer that you never want to
see shirtless
BbI accept the fact that someone has to win the worst-dressed,
CTaking my first steps into the scene, giving me focus
DmPutting on a brave face, like Timothy Dalton,considering a name
change,thinking it
was hopeless
BbRhyming over recordings Avoiding tradition
CCause every day some lyrics and a melody can be written
DmNow absence can make your heart ache But drinking absinthe can change your
mind-state, vividly, I need to let my liver be
BbAnd I say it again,
CLiving life on the edge,with a closed hand full of friends
DmIs good advice from a manwho took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him blowing up globally
BbCause that's how it's supposed to be screaming out vocally
CMight seem totally impossible achieving life's dreams
DmBut, but I just write schemesI'm never having a stylist, giving me tight
jeans
BbMadison Square Garden is where I might be, But more likely,
CYou'll find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates
DmHaving a pint with McDaid, Discussing records we made And every single
second knowing
that we'll never betray
BbThe way we were raised Remembering our background
CSat down That's how we put it out; it's time to take it back now
(Hook) (x2)
DmCome on and take it back Bbnow
CCome on and take it back now
DmDon't you fade into the back now Bb C
Verse 4:
DmMy dreams keep me awake at night, Written in rhymes, and lies, deliver the
hype
Am I just living the lie
BbWith this you must know that the number's just sold woah
CWill keep me going through the tough times, dream with me
DmWe forget 90 per cent of it when we wake But the other 10 per cent it
never fades
BbDreaming dreams, day to day goals Stay awake loads,
try to Cmake the cut like the paper or razor blade,
never give Dmup And just remember just to hold out more A couple years ago I
couldn't
just control that thought
You'd find me Bbbuskin' on the street when it was cold outdoors
And now I'm Csweating on the stage With the sold out tours
Writing Dmlove songs for the sake of it Never to make a hit, You can't fake
talent and work ethic just to make it quick
BbI'm not a rapper I'm a singer, I just take the piss and
CMost of these other guys are guys that pose His little sister has to
Dmbabysit, that's just a way it is Dreams you own,just set your goals
And have the utmost faith in it
tread your own Bbpath You'll never make it as a follower,
Cyou'll never know where you will go or where you will be tomorrow Dm
