	[Verse 1]
G C/E F
         Though we've
     C/E            G
 not reached the end
                     Am   F
We should take some time apart
                C/E  G
Leave here with no regrets
G               C/E F
Knowing we gave our all
         C/E    G
Oh, I cannot pretend
                Am
That this won't break
           F
our hearts
            C/E   G
But we will meet again

[Pre-Chorus]
G              C/E Am
I know the art is  told
    G
But we could be so
      F
 much more

 [Chorus]
C
 Out of the embers,
  C/E    F            C
 we'll rise from the ashes
      F            C
And write in the stars
          Gsus4
 with our names
C
 That we are here,
          F
we are bruised,
          C
 we are damaged
        Am       G
But the joy was worth
          Dm
 the pain
            F
Whoa-oh-oh, love's
 C/E G     G    C
a   beautiful game

G C/E F
        Oh, what a
   C/E         G
state we're in
               Am          F
But the war is far from won

Yeah, we did everything
G            C/E  F
Anyone could have done
                C/E     G
We'll pick the pieces up
                       Am
Put it together with prayer
      F
 and hope it works
              C/E         G
They say it's in the blood

[Pre-Chorus]

How to play A Beautiful Game: key, chords and progression

These are A Beautiful Game chords by Ed Sheeran on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

A Beautiful Game by Ed Sheeran is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 8 chords: G, C/E, F, Am, C, Gsus4, Dm and Am7.

Listen for G – C/E – F – C/E (V – I – IV – I in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – doh – fah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
