Sheeran, Ed - Grade 8 (Acoustic) Lyrics






My mind is a warrior,
My heart is a foreigner,
My eyes are the colour of red like a sunset.
I'll never keep it bottled up and
Left to the hands of the coroner,
Be a true heart not a follower,
We're not done yet now.

I see it in your movements tonight,
If we should ever do this right,
I'm never gonna let you down,
And I'll never let you down,
So we'll keep it on the down low
And I'll keep you around so I'll know
That I'll never let you down,
I'll never let you down.

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,
Now you're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down.

My eyes are a river filler,
This drink is a liver killer,
Your chest is a pillow for my weary head to lay to rest again,
Your body is my ballpoint pen
And your mind is my new best friend,
Your eyes are the mirror to take me to the edge again.

Now I see it in your movements tonight,
If we should ever do this right,
I'm never gonna let you down,
And I'll never let you down,
So we'll keep it on the down low
And I'll keep you around so I'll know
That I'll never let you down,
I'll never let you down,

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down.
Now you're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down.

So hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, and I'll never let you down
Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, and I'll never let you down [x3]

Now you're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,
Now, now you're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I never felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down.

Sheeran, Ed Grade 8 (Acoustic) Comments
  1. A.... D....

    I keep analyzing this video to figure out how he strums and picks at the same time and I can't seem to figure it out.

  2. B.... M....

    chords?

  3. I.... T....

    nice try dirty bitches ...home sweet home poohahaha

  4. I.... T....

    holly shit...what kind of boat is that...hahaha this look a refugees boat...this look a detroy ghost place...OMG

  5. V.... ....

    2019 and I still love ed old songs 😍🖤

  6. T.... J....

    2019...

  7. S.... F....

    Chords here: https://myguitarsongs.com/ed-sheeran/grade-8/

  8. R.... ....

    on 2:26 "like you were a grade 8" if you pay attention the guitar sound is diferent than the chord he's strumming but his lips is singing the lyrics on the time. not sure if its a video-audio bug delay or i'm going crazy hahahahah and if its a delay how can the guitar be delayed but his lips not :o? , guitar recorded on studio? :x

    R.... ....

    definitely not palm mute. i'm talking about the transition from G going up to D#. when he is strumming the G you can already hear the D# chord without him going up. definitely a video delay!

    R.... ....

    you are right, but I think is a bad sync of the video and the audio

    R.... ....

    yep, the delay i was talking is the bad sync hahahah

    R.... ....

    I totally agree.

  9. N.... D....

    This boat session is just some straight up fya, why is it not on the main channel?

  10. A.... G....

    Love all of Ed's stuff, don't get me wrong, but this phase of his career is my favourite. When I think of Ed, A Team, Lego House, Give Me Love, and songs like this one are what comes to mind. Each album has its own vibe. It's not a bad thing, but his music has definitely had a change in tone over time.

    A.... G....

    I know what you mean. My favorite album is multiply, I think it was the happy middle between divide and plus. The tone has changed, but it's still Ed. The simple guitar melodies, emotional voice, and meaning to lyrics. Still amazing, just different.

    A.... G....

    Yeah, I'd say multiply would be my next favourite. It's definitely the same sweet, soulful Ed just grown up.

    A.... G....

    same😢 saw Ed in 2014 and it was just perfect and he is coming to my country this year and i dunno if i should go or not🤔 definitely won't be the same vibe as in 2014. he even sang without a mic and it was unbelievable!! everyone was silent😭😭

    A.... G....

    Part of what makes ed ed is that he has the ability to do well in so many different genres. Each album has its vibe yes but each song also has it's own vibe.... but without a doubt + us my favourite album of his cos it's so unpredictable none of the songs even slightly resemble each other and that's what made him famous.

  11. J.... C....

    2:36-2:45 OMG IF I WAS GAY....

    J.... C....

    Jesus Carranza yeah i am straight but man i have. guy-crush with ed

  12. B.... ....

    one of my fav song

  13. �.... �....

    this song but particularly this video, always make me happy ♡

  14. B.... ....

    This video solo acoustic is a hit single.. best version available.. instant classic

  15. K.... K....

    You know how you hear an artist for the first time, before they become famous, then fall in love with their music, and then they blow up and become popular, and suddenly their music doesn't quite feel the same?..

    K.... K....

    You so right , it seems today that no one actually pay attention to the art work that Ed Sheeran make these days , because he's make some really great tunes and his writing skills and vocals are so great and honestly I don't think that my opinion ever going to change about him

    K.... K....

    Binyamin balay you're missing the point smmfh.

    K.... K....

    King Kami I think you the wrong between us , I replied to your second comment not the first one .

    K.... K....

    Binyamin balay by art I meant the music not paintings, dummy.

    K.... K....

    king kami art = " The various branches of creative activity, such as painting, music, literature, and dance " .
    Expand your knowledge.

  16. C.... C....

    Essa habilidade não é humana

    C.... C....

    Camilla Coelho Seria Ed um The sims

  17. k.... w....

    this song isn't about weed. it's about the first time he had realized that he was in love.

    k.... w....

    In love with weed

    k.... w....

    Spark lol😂😂🤣😂

  18. L.... C....

    Ele é tão apaixonante <3

  19. C.... B....

    The way he writes... it's very much like Damien Rice.  Love it :D 

    C.... B....

    He was one of his inspirations for the release of '+'

  20. R.... ....

    Can someone tell me that chords touch? It's that the video see me pixelated all the time and I can't see them.

    R.... ....

    +Ricardo Salamanca 2 years later... Hammer on Em, then G, then hammer on b and d string for C, then B7. Don't play the high e string except when he gets to the bridge with the bar chords which is (i think) Gm7 on the 10th fret, then D# to F bar chords (but he just frets the the A,D, and B string muting both e strings and the g). You can mute with either hand when strumming depending on how you want to play it. That is all I got from going through the video, have fun :)

  21. S.... R....

    he is awesome

  22. l.... ....

    @JAG&V.TV The tutorial is right in front of you... Just enlarge the video. and count the frets and copy his hands. If you know how to play guitar you can figure this out really easily 

  23. B.... P....
