Bloodstream (ver 4) by Ed Sheeran
Bloodstream – Ed Sheeran
Having watched Ed play this live using capo 4 it seems the only way to get those notes
is to tune the G (3rd) string down to E. After that..it’s all gravy!

Lyrics and Structure
____________________
Verse 1
I've been spinning out for time
Couple women by my side
I got sinnin' on my mind
Sipping on red wine
I've been sitting here for ages
Ripping out pages
How'd I get so faded
How'd I get so faded
Pre-Chorus
Ohhh,no no don't leave me lonely now
If you love me how
You never loved me
Ohhh, Color crimson in my eyes
Wanted to could free my mind
Chorus
This is how it ends
I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream
Fading out again
I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream
So tell me when it kicks in
Well tell when it kicks in
Verse 2
I've been looking for a love
Thought I'd find it really boring
God make me another one
I'll be feeling this tomorrow
Lord forgive me for the things I've done
I was never meant to hurt no one
And I saw scars upon her broken hearted dove
Pre-Chorus and Chorus
All the voices in my mind
Calling out across the land
