This is an acoustic version, based off of how Ed performs it live
(as seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGmy0xfVukY)
 
This is is largely based off version 1 by LYNX-Music, so all credit should really
go to them. I simply put the capo on 6 and transposed the chords to be open (and
made minor alterations based on the chords Ed typically uses).
 
I am not sure about the G/F# - it was originally a Bm after transposing, but
based on the video and the chords he usually uses I think the G/F# might be
what he uses instead. Please feel free to suggest an alternative though, as
I am not good at identifying chords by ear.
 
 
**UPDATE 4/19/17**
To play the riff between the G and the Em7 on the verse/chorus, you can do the
following during the transition:
 
     G           Em7
e|---3-----------3------------
B|---3-----------3------------
G|---0-----------0------------
D|---0-----------2------------
A|---2------2----2------------
E|---3--3/5---0--0------------

[Intro]
G Em7 Cadd9 D
 
[Verse 1]
        G
Maybe I came on too strong
        Em7             Cadd9    D
Maybe I waited too long
          G
Maybe I played my cards wrong
 
Oh, just a little bit wrong
     Em7             Cadd9    D
Baby I apologize for it
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9                         Em7
I could fall, or I could fly
                       G/F#
Here in your aeroplane
And I could live, I could die
Cadd9
Hanging on the words you say
     Cadd9                         Em7
And I’ve been known to give my all
 
And jumping in harder than
D
Ten thousand rocks on the lake
 
[Chorus]
                 G
So don’t call me baby
           Em7     Cadd9
Unless you mean it
D                  G
Don’t tell me you need me
                 Em7
If you don’t believe it
Cadd9                  D
So let me know the truth
   Em7     D        G/F#  G
Before I dive right into you
 
[Verse 2]
          G
You’re a mystery
                                    Em7               Cadd9      D
I have travelled the world, there’s no other girl like you
                    G
No one, what’s your history?
                                    Em7
Do you have a tendency to lead some people on?
          Cadd9          D
‘Cause I heard you do, mm
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9                         Em7
I could fall, or I could fly
                       G/F#
Here in your aeroplane
And I could live, I could die
Cadd9
Hanging on the words you say
     Cadd9                         Em7
And I’ve been known to give my all
And lie awake, every day
D
Don't know how much I can take
 
[Chorus]
                 G
So don’t call me baby
           Em7     Cadd9
Unless you mean it
D                  G
Don’t tell me you need me
                 Em7
If you don’t believe it
Cadd9                  D
So let me know the truth
   Em7     D        G/F#  G
Before I dive right into you

I could fall, or I could fly
                       G/F#
Here in your aeroplane
And I could live, I could die
Cadd9
Hanging on the words you say
     Cadd9                         Em7
And I’ve been known to give my all
 
Sitting back, looking at
D
Gvery mess that I've made
 
[Chorus]
                 G
So don’t call me baby

Before I dive right into you
   Em7     D        G/F#  G
Before I dive right into you   
Em7        D        G/F#  G
Before I dive right into you
