then D

G213
I Gfound my old phone today
GIn a box that I Dhad hidden away
DNostalgia tryin' Cto lead me astray
CGMaybe I'll unwrite Dsome wrongs
DI Gcharged the battery again
GCombinations 'cause my Dpasscode had changed
DOpened up and Csaw familiar names
CNow I wonder Gwhere they've Dgone
DConversations Emwith my dead friends
EmMessages Cfrom all my exes
CI kinda Gthink that this was best left
GIn the Dpast where it belongs
DI feel an Emoverwhelming sadness
EmOf all the friends I Cdo not have left
CSeeing how my Gfamily has fractured
GGrowin' Dup and movin' on
DI Gfound my old phone today
GArguments that DI tried to keep at bay
DThe ones who loved me, I Cjust pushed them away
CCouldn't tell Gthe difference from the Dleeches
DMy closed Ghand still holds some mates
GBut if I'm open, Dit gets smaller day by day
DI can't tell if it is Cpleasure or pain
CTrying to Gkeep within my Dremain
DConversations Emwith my dead friends
EmMessages from Call my exes
CI kinda think Gthat this was best left
GThere in the Dpast, where it belongs
DI feel an Emoverwhelming sadness
EmOf all the Cfriends I do not have left
CSeeing how my Gfamily has fractured
GGrowin' up Dand movin' on
DEmOoh-ooh, ooh, ooh
EmCOoh-ooh, ooh, ooh
CGOoh-ooh, ooh, ooh
GDOoh-ooh, ooh, ooh
DI Gfound my old phone today
GSo full of love, Dyet so full of hate
DI put it back inside Cthere from whence it came
CGNothing good will come from Dregretting
DConversations Gwith my dead friends
GMessages Cfrom all my exes
CI kinda think that Gthis was best left
GThere in the Dpast where it belongs
DI feel an Emoverwhelming sadness
EmOf all the friends I Cdo not have left
CSeeing how my Gfamily has fractured
GGrowin' Dup and movin' on
DI found my old Emphone today

How to play Old Phone by Ed Sheeran on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 3 you play G, D, C, Em, the shapes the player above shows.

The chart has four main chords: F, A#, D# and Gm. A#, D# and Gm are barre chords. The others are open shapes. The change you will play most is A# to F, 17 times in the chart, so practise that one first.
