Ed Sheeran - Way Home
Album (EP): Ed Sheeran
Tom (dudesrock666) has already uploaded the chords a long time ago but he didn't put
any lyric nor fingering so this is basicaly the same version but a bit improved.
If you want the song to sound identically the way Ed plays it use bar chords as well
as this fingerpicking pattern.

[Intro]
Dm A C Dm Dm x2
[Hook]
Dm C Dm
Well I once heard a story about a run-down home
Dm F A
Where a man and his thoughts lived all alone
Dm F C A
He tried to live, no effort was shown
Dm F C Dm
He’s slowly finding a way back home
[Verse]
Dm C Dm
He had a family with smiles and frowns
Dm F A
They never could solve his way to be down
Dm F C A
Cos he’s one dog who don’t want a bone
Dm F C Dm
He’s slowly finding a way back home
Dm C Dm
He had a nice house with windows and doors
Dm F A
He said to his wife what’s mine is yours
Dm F C A
But the seeds of deception are soon to be sown
Dm F C Dm
He’s slowly finding a way back home
Dm C Dm
His children have left but the rooms are still there
Dm F A
His misses the noise and the scents in their hair
Dm F C A
But far from the nest the babies have flown
Dm F C Dm
He’s slowly finding a way back home
Dm C Dm
His wife was an angel sent from above
Dm F A
He never returned her kisses or love
Dm F C A
But soon he’d found that she’d overgrown
Dm F C Dm
This man who’s finding a way back home
Dm C Dm
So the leaves are all dead in this broken man’s June
Dm F A
The rain will still fall on the sunny afternoon
Dm F C A
He stares at the floor, no more to roam
Dm F C Dm
He’s slowly finding a way back home
[Hook]
Dm C Dm
Well I once heard a story about a run-down home
Dm F A
Where a man with regrets lived all alone
Dm F C A
He tried to live, no effort was shown
Dm F C Dm
He’ll never find a way back home
