Great song by Stormzy. Tried to get the timing right with the strumming pattern which repeats throughout the song. Normal tuning, with just the simplified chords, as the original is played with keys. I've tried to show in the first verse how the chords are timed in relation to the lyrics, but I guess it is easier to just get the timing right whilst listening to the song.Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: absolute beginner
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: no capo

[Intro]
Dm C    C Dm C    Am G    G (2x)
 
Dm   C
    I knew a woman more wonderful than a Disney one
C Dm C
    I lost my heart, I just wondered if you could give me one
Am   G
    I hit you back, you know, lately I've had some busy ones
G
    I been getting this money just on my Lizzy ones
Dm    C
    And now we're acting like children, it's so pathetic
C Dm  C
    I was trying to reach out for ages, I need my credit
Am   G
   There's a couple lines in our script I think we should edit
G
   Why you gotta bitch all the time? Just read my message
 
Dm   C
   Shit, fucking hell, I'm such a handful
C Dm C
   On one hand I'm pissed, but on the other hand I'm thankful
Am   G
   Times when it was bliss and there were times it was in shambles
G
   Times when it was lit and other times we lit the candles
Dm   C
   You're probably reminiscing when you could be hella dissing
C Dm C
   Never been the type to be so reckless with decisions
Am  G
  Swear you tried to tell me, but it's like I never listen
G
  And I was meant to share your vision
                        Dm  C
  I was meant to be your rider, put a bit of Henny on my rider
C Dm C
  You can stay at home, I'll send a driver
            Am  G
I'll be your provider, no, I'm not around but it's a minor
G
Cah I don't like the spotlight and you don't like it neither
   Dm   C
But that was then and this is now
       C Dm C
I was pacing 'round my kitchen like, "This shit is foul"
                           Am  G
I done the dirt and then I figured that you'll dig it out
                          G
But that's a coward move, I guess you got me figured out
 
I know you'll never listen now
 
 
[Chorus]
             Dm   C
You taught me love (You taught me love)
   C Dm C
Oh, what a gift (Oh, what a gift)
                 Am  G
I know that it's hard (I know that it's hard)
            G
Too hard to forgive
                            Dm   C
And to be honest, if I were you
        C Dm C
I'd be the same way
                        Am  G
To be honest, if I were you
              G
Then I'd be unforgiving, too
 
 
[Verse 2]
                                                        Dm   C
Fast forward now, my nephew's still asking for his Auntie Maya
                        Dm  C  Dm
Guess this is the karma for what I done to Maya
                               Am  G
I just stood and let it burn, I couldn't done the fire
                               G
Lord, I pray you make it easy, that's my one desire
                                Dm   C
God loves a trial, I can't even fathom what I probably had you going through
Dm  C  Dm
You cannot imagine how I'm sorry, man, I'm showing you
    Am G
Now I haven't even got the luxury of knowing you
    G
We was even meant to share a seed and let it grow in you
 
N.C.
I can't even look you in the eye, that's 'cause of shame
 
Now you're tryna block me out your mind, that's 'cause of pain
 
Greatest love I ever knew, I poured it down the drain
N.C.
Maybe it's the only way we both call it a day
 
You gave me the world and then I gave you disrespect
 
Hand on my heart, this is my biggest of regrets
N.C.
Thought I'd say it here than rather fling it in a text
 
Until you're ready to forgive I'm always wishing you the best but
 
 
[Chorus]
             Dm C
You taught me love (You taught me love)
       Dm  C  Dm
Oh, what a gift (Oh, what a gift)
                 Am  G
I know that it's hard (I know that it's hard)
             G
Too hard to forgive
                              Dm C
And to be honest, if I were you
       Dm  C  Dm
I'd be the same way
                        Am  G
To be honest, if I were you
                   G
Then I'd be unforgiving, too
             Dm C
You taught me love (You taught me love)
       Dm  C  Dm
Oh, what a gift (Oh, what a gift)
                  Am  G
I know that it's hard (I know that it's hard)
             G
Too hard to forgive
                            Dm C
And to be honest, if I were you
        Dm  C  Dm
I'd be the same way
            Am  G
To be honest, if I were you
             G
Then I'd be unforgiving, too
