After looking up several Ed Sheeran songs on ultimate guitar and afterwards having to adjust the chords
through live vids of him playing the song,to be able to play a "perfect" cover,
I finally release my first own tab.
 
 
Please enjoy the original accurate Chords from the live version:
 
no capo, standard tuning
 
 
    A/E          C#          B           A
e|---0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
B|---5-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|---7-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
D|---6----------11-----------9-----------7-----|
A|---7----------11-----------9-----------7-----|
E|---------------9-----------7-----------5-----|
 
Depending on the section of the song, he's strumming the open strings more/less.

             A/E

It is the only thing that makes us feel alive
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
C#                      A
We keep this love in a photograph
A/E                    B
We make these memories for ourselves
          C#
Where our eyes are never closing

Our hearts were never broken
     A/E                       B
And times forever frozen still

Wait for me to come home

Loving can mend your soul

And it's the only thing that I know
 
                    A/E
I swear it will get easier
                                C#
But remember that it is never a piece of you
             B                                   A
And it's the only thing till with us without

Wait for me to come home
 
           A/E
Oh you can fit me inside the necklace you got when you were
B
16 next to your heartbeat where I 
C#                                    A
Should be, keep it deep within your soul
           A/E
And if you hurt me that's ok baby only

When I'm away I will remember how you
B                                      C#
Kissed me under the lamp post back on sixth street 
                                 A
Hearing you whisper through the phone
(A/E)
Wait for me to come home

It's almost perfect. He tunes the G string down to an E and then the A/E chord is like this... A/E e|---0---| B|---0---| E|---0---| D|---6---| A|---7---| E|---0---|
