I hope this is OK. Sounds reasonably accurate to me.
Ed Sheeran plays it with all barre chords, I think,
but you don't have to; it sounds fine either way.
I have tried to keep the chord above the word it is
meant to be played over, but I did have some difficulty
with it.

A
Could I wake up next to you
When we're hitting double figures
D A
Look into your eyes
Like I'm looking into double mirrors
E F#m
Could you make it any clearer
E
Everything's such a blur
A
It's not my turn
D
It's hers to get hurt
A
On a late night
D
Coming home from way too many train rides
A
Lace not as red as my face
E F#m
I'm home at the same time
Highbury estate's fine
E A
Smoking like a dragon, but don't chase lines,
D
He-ey.

I haven't slept for the past week
E F#m
Two hours ain't enough for me
E A D
I feel inspired, at quarter to three am
A D A
I haven't changed since our last meet
E F#m
I'm still getting all my meals for free
E A D
Think I'm being shunned by my feet again

D A
And now I'm sitting on a night bus
Flicking through my iPod
D A
Feeling kinda tired
So I try to close my eyes up
E F#m
Driver, turn the lights off
E
Lights on, on stage, mic's on
A
Song plays, nice one
D
Gotta keep my hype strong
A
Truth be, never went to Uni
D A
People see right through me
but I'm not a fool, see
E F#m
I'm never gonna do one
E
Gonna live past 22, done
A
Everything I need to
D
Except get a 2:1
