What Do I Know? – Ed Sheeran

(CAPO 4) 

 
(Verse) 
[C] Ain't got a soapbox [G/B] I can [Am] stand upon 
[G] But [F] God gave me a [Em] stage, a [F] guitar and a [G] song 
My [C] daddy told me "Son, [G/B] don't you [Am] get involved [G] in 
[F] Politics, religions [Em] or other [F] people's [G] quarrels" 
 
(Prechorus) 
[F ] I'll paint the picture, [Am] let [G] me set the [C] scene 
I know [F] when I have children [Am] they [G] will know what [C] it means 
And I [F] pass on these things my [Am] family'sG given to [C] me 
Just [F] love and understanding, [G] positivity 
 
(Chorus) 
We could [C] change this whole [G/B] world with a [Am] piano 
Add [G] a [F] bass, some [Em] guitar, grab a [F] beat and [G] away we go 
[C] I'm just a boy with [G/B] a one-[Am] man show 
[G] No [F] university, [Em] no degree [F] But [G] Lord knows 
[C] everybody's [G/B] talking [Am] 'bout exponential growth 
And[G F] the stock market's [Em] crashing in [F] their [G] portfolios 
While [C] I'll be sitting [G/B] here with [Am] a song that I wrote 
[G] Sing, [F] love could [Em] change the world in a [F] moment 
But [G] what do I know? [C G/B Am
]  
[G F] Love can change the [Em] world in a [F] moment 
But [G] what do I know? [C G/B Am
]  
[G F] Love can change the [Em] world in a [F] moment. [G
]  
 
(Verse) 
The [C] revolutions coming [G/B] its a [Am] minute away 
[G] I [F] saw people marching[Em] in the [F] streets [G] today 
You [C] know we are made up [G/B] of love [Am] and hate 
[G] but [F] both of them are [Em] balanced [F] on a razor [G] blade 
 
(Prechorus) 
[F ] I'll paint the picture[Am] , let [G] me set the [C] scene 
I know [F] I'm all for people [Am] following [G] their dreams[C
]  
Just [F] remember life is more than [Am] fitting[G] in your [C] jeans 
It's [F] love and understanding, [G] positivity 
 
(Chorus) 
We could [C] change this whole [G/B] world with a [Am] piano 
Add [G] a [F] bass, some [Em] guitar, grab a [F] beat and [G] away we go 
[C] I'm just a boy with [G/B] a one-[Am] man show 
[G] No [F] university, [Em] no degree [F] But [G] Lord knows 
[C] everybody's [G/B] talking [Am] 'bout exponential growth 
And[G F] the stock market's [Em] crashing in [F] their [G] portfolios 
While [C] I'll be sitting [G/B] here with [Am] a song that I wrote 
[G] Sing, [F] love could [Em] change the world in a [F] moment 
But [G] what do I know? [C G/B Am

[G F] Love can change the [Em] world in a [F] moment 
But [G] what do I know? [C G/B Am
]  
[G F] Love can change the [Em] world in a [F] moment. [G
]  
 
(Prechorus) 
[F ] I'll paint the picture[Am] , let [G] me set the [C] scene 
You [F] know the futures in the [Am] hands of [G] you and me [C
]  
So [F] lets all get together we can [Am] all [G] be free [C
]  
Spread[F] love and understanding, [G] positivity 
 
(Chorus) 
We could [C] change this whole [G/B] world with a [Am] piano
