Capo 5th fret. This is not how Ed always plays it live (sometimes he just bangs out the intro part in bar chords before looping it and moving on) but if you play it this way it will sound spot on with the album recording. The last G note phrase of the Intro and Verse 1 he kind of just vamps on the open D G and B strings a few time before going back to the start of the phrase with the open low E.Was this info helpful?

Difficulty:	beginner
Tuning:	E A D G B E
Capo:	5th fret

 "I saw that both your smiles were twice as        "...you look happier, you do"
  wide as our's yeah..."
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 
Em           C               G
Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
Em           C               G   G/F#
Ain't nobody need you like I do...
Em             C                G
Promise that I will not take it personal...baby
Em               C               G
If you're moving on with someone new...
 
 
[Chorus]
                   Em      C     G
cuz' baby you look Happier, you do
                      Em       C       G
My friends told me on day I'll feel it too
                Em       C        G
Until then I'll smile to hide the truth
                 Em      C    G
But I know I was happier with you, (Hey yah, hey yeah, hey yeah)
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em          C             G
Sat on the corner of the room
Em               C            G
Everything’s reminding me of you
Em         C     G                                Em
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you’re happier
C      G
Aren’t you? (Hey yah, hey yeah, hey yeah)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2 - strum louder than Pre-Chorus 1]
 
Em           C               G
Ain’t nobody hurt you like I hurt you
    Em           C               G   G/F#
But ain’t nobody need you like I do...
Em                  C           G
I know that there’s others that deserve you
        Em           C                  G
But my darling, I am still in love with you
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
                     Em     C     G
But I guess you look happier, you do
                       Em     C          G
My friends told me one day I’ll feel it too
               Em       C        G
I could try to smile to hide the truth
                 Em     C     G
But I know I was happier with you (Hey yah, hey yeah, yeah)
 
 
[Interlude]
 
Em   C    G    x4
 
 
[Outro]
               Em     C     G
Baby, you look happier, you do
                     Em       C       G
I know one day you’d fall for someone new
                      Em         C       G
But if he breaks your heart like lovers do
                       Em          C      G
Just know that I’ll be waiting here for you
