[Verse 1]
 
    G#m                 C#m
The club isn't the best place to find a lover
       E              F#
So the bar is where I go
G#m                      C#m
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
         E                     F#
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
     G#m                       C#m
Come over and start up a conversation with just me
    E                       F#
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
        G#m                 C#m
Take my hand, stop, Van The Man on the jukebox
    E                F#
And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
G#m              C#m
Girl, you know I want your love
E                      F#                 G#m
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
             C#m
Come on now, follow my lead
E               F#
I may be crazy, don't mind me, say
G#m              C#m
Boy, let's not talk too much
E                    F#                G#m
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
             C#m
Come on now, follow my lead
E
Come—come on now, follow my lead

[Chorus]
 
G#m      C#m                    E
  I'm in love with the shape of you
            F#                  G#m
We push and pull like a magnet do
            C#m              E
Although my heart is falling too
       F#
I'm in love with your body
G#m        C#m                  E
  And last night you were in my room
           F#                    G#m
And now my bedsheets smell like you
                 C#m                  E
Every day discovering something brand new
            F#
Well I'm in love with your body
G#m C#m E         F#
           I'm in love with your body
G#m C#m E         F#
           I'm in love with your body
G#m C#m E         F#
           I'm in love with your body
G#m               C#m                  E
 Every day discovering something brand new
       F#
I'm in love with the shape of you
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G#m                    C#m
One week in we let the story begin
            E                F#
We're going out on our first date
            G#m                  C#m
But you and me are thrifty so go all you can eat
             E                   F#
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
            G#m                       C#m
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
             E                F#
And how your family is doin' okay
              G#m               C#m
And leave and get in a taxi, we kiss in the backseat
         E                     F#
Tell the driver make the radio play, and I'm singing like
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
G#m              C#m
Girl, you know I want your love
E                      F#                 G#m
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
             C#m
Come on now, follow my lead
E               F#
I may be crazy, don't mind me, say
G#m              C#m
Boy, let's not talk too much
E                    F#                G#m
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
             C#m
Come on now, follow my lead
E
Come—come on now, follow my lead
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G#m      C#m                    E
  I'm in love with the shape of you
            F#                 G#m

Guys . Ed wrote this song , acoustic guitar, capo 4 and chord progression: ‘Em, Am, C,D. What is missing on this app are the complete lyrics . This makes nonsense of the song structure. Then you before come over is essential. And the word put before van is not sung just suggested . In the acoustic version ed changes the timing continuously as is to be expected. Because expressions and emotions are the most important parts to a song . Play with Ed’s acoustic version and you will understand me. I’ll be performing the song live tomorrow in Hamburg. I promise that I will post a video as soon as I can. It’s a fun number. Don’t dissect. Just enjoy:) and remember . In a song such as this the right hand is the most important:) stay healthy. Dave
