          Photograph – Ed Sheeran
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Written by: Ed Sheeran/Johnny McDaid/Martin Harrington/Tom Leonard
 
From: “X” [multiply] (2014)
 
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: soprano C
 
Tip for beginners: Transpose the chords down (-2 to D or -4 to C) for easier
chord shapes. Use a ukulele capo to match the key of Sheeran's recording
(2nd fret for -2 or 4th fret for -4).

                (break)
 
[Verse 1]
           E                C#m7
Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
             Bsus4                  | A | % |
But it's the only thing that I know
             E                         C#m7
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
          Bsus4                           | A | % |
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m7                    A
 We keep this love in a photograph
E                       Bsus4
 We make these memories for ourselves
          C#m7
Where our eyes are never closing
A6
Hearts were never broken
     E                    B
And time’s forever frozen still
                        (break)
 
 
[Chorus 1]
           E
So you can keep me
E                         Bsus4  B
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
B                          C#m7
Holding me closer ‘til our eyes meet,
    C#m7               Aadd9
And you won't ever be alone
Aadd9               |  E  |  %  |
Wait for me to come home      (break)
(break)
 
 
[Verse 2]

Loving can heal loving can mend your soul
             Bsus4                         | A | % |
And it's the only thing that I know (I know)
                    E
I swear it will get easier
  E                      C#m7
Remember that with every piece of ya
             Bsus4                             | A | % |
Mmm it’s the only thing we take with us when we die

 We keep this love in this photograph

Where our eyes are never closing
A6
Hearts were never broken
     E                    B
And time’s forever frozen still

           E
So you can keep me

And you won't ever be alone
 
           E
And if you hurt me
E                    Bsus4  B
That’s ok baby, only words bleed
B                           C#m7
Inside these pages you just hold me
C#m7                 Aadd9
I won't ever let you go
 
 
[Middle 8]
Aadd9               C#m7
Wait for me to come home
C#m7                Aadd9
Wait for me to come home
Aadd9               E
Wait for me to come home
E                  | Bsus4 | B |
Wait for me to come home
 
 
[Chorus 3]
           E
Oh you can fit me
           E                              Bsus4 B
Inside the necklace you got when you were six - teen
B                              C#m7
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
C#m7                     A
Keep it deep within your soul
           E
And if you hurt me
E                    Bsus4  B
That’s ok baby, only words bleed
B                           C#m7
Inside these pages you just hold me
C#m7                 Aadd9
I won't ever let you go
 
 
[Outro]
          E                           Bsus4
When I'm away I will remember how you kissed me
Bsus4                       C#m7
Under the lamp post back on Sixth Street
C#m7                            Asus4
Hearing you whisper through the phone
Asus4               [ E ]
“Wait for me to come home.”
