Don't - Ed Sheeran
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: ConorGAL
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
Here is the performance go to 16:33: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR3vIjAZDnM
While the other versions are tabbed from Ed's performance on SNL with a band, this is Ed
playing without a
band in concert in Vicar Street, Dublin. However the other tabs are fine just for
whatever reason Ed plays
it half a step higher in this performance, this tab is if you want to play along with
the video.

Verse 1
[F#m] [C#m]
I met this girl late last year she said
[D] [E]
Don't you worry if I disappear I told her
[F#m] [C#m]
I'm not really looking for another mistake
[D] [E]
I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait but then
[F#m] [C#m]
I jumped right in a week later returned
[D] [E]
I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn
[F#m] [C#m]
But I gave her my time, for two or three nights
[D] [E]
Then I put it on pause until the moment was right
[F#m] [C#m]
I went away for months
[D] [E]
Until our paths crossed again, she told me
[F#m] [C#m]
I was never looking for a friend
[D] [E]
Maybe you can swing by my room around ten
[F#m] [C#m]
Baby bring the lemon and a bottle of gin
[D] [E]
We'll be inbetween the sheets till' the late AM
[F#m] [C#m]
Baby if you wanted me then you should have just said
[D]
She's singing...
Hook
[E] [F#m]
Don't fuck with my Love
[C#m] [D]
That heart is so cold
[E] [F#m]
All over my home
[C#m] [D]
I don't wanna know that thing
[E] [F#m]
Don't fuck with my love
[C#m] [D]
I told her, she knows
[E] [F#m]
Take aim and reload
[C#m] [D] [E]
I don't wanna know that thing
Verse 2
[F#m] [C#m]
For a couple of weeks I only want to see her
[D] [E]
We drink away the days with a take away pizza
[F#m] [C#m]
Before a text message was the only way to reach her
[D] [E]
Now she's staying at my place and loves the way I treat her
[F#m] [C#m]
Singing out Aretha, all over the track like a feature
[D] [E]
And never wants to sleep I guess that I dont want to either
[F#m] [C#m]
But me and her we make money the same way
[D] [E]
Four cities, two planes the same day
[F#m] [C#m]
And those shows have never been what its about
[D] [E]
Maybe we'll go together and just figure it out
[F#m] [C#m]
I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on the couch
[D] [E]
But we should get on the plane or we'll be missing it now
[F#m] [C#m]
Wish I'd have written it down, the way that things played out
[D] [E]
When she was kissing him how I was confused about
[F#m] [C#m] [D]
She should figure it out why I'm sat here singing...
Hook
[E] [F#m]
Don't fuck with my Love
[C#m] [D]
That heart is so cold
[E] [F#m]
All over my home
[C#m] [D]
I don't wanna know that thing
[E] [F#m]
Don't fuck with my love
[C#m] [D]
I told her, she knows
[E] [F#m]
Take aim and reload
[C#m] [D] [E]
I don't wanna know that thing
Verse 3
(Knock knock knock)
[F#m] [C#m]
On my hotel door
[D] [E]
I don't even know if she knows what for
[F#m] [C#m]
She was crying on my shoulder I already told you
[D] [E]
Trust and respect is what we do this for
[F#m] [C#m]
I never intended to be next
[D] [E]
But you didn't need to to take him to bed, thats all
[F#m] [C#m]
And I never saw him as a threat
[D] [E]
Until you disappeared with him to have sex of course
[F#m] [C#m]
Its not like we were both on tour
[D] [E]
We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor
[F#m] [C#m]
And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment
[D] [E]
But it was never just fun and I thought you were different
[F#m] [C#m]
This is not the way you realise what you wanted
[D] [E]
It's a bit too much too late if I'm honest
[F#m] [C#m] [D]
All this time god knows I'm singing...
Hook
[E] [F#m]
