Chords for Ed Sheeran - Eyes Closed - First Performance Live in Manchester

_ _ _ Right, Manchester.
Real, real danger time.
This is Danger Zone.
_ _ I'm releasing my brand new single _ in the morning.
_ _ It's called Eyes Closed. _
This is a song, like, I feel so awkward about this album
because I sort of made this album as like a therapeutic, cathartic thing.
And then I sort of made it and I felt better about whatever was going on
because I'd made the album.
And then I was suddenly like, oh, I guess, you know, you put albums out
and then suddenly you're doing all these interviews about all the things.
And then this week's just been a week of like everything coming out.
_ But the culmination of it is this song coming out.
And this song means a hell of a lot to me.
And I've never played it live in front of an audience before.
So this is the first time. _ _ _ _ _
Well, the first time that I did, I did do a secret show that no one filmed.
_ _ _ _ But it's not out public.
So the one thing I would like to say is, you know, this gig is about singalongs
and this gig is about having fun and feeling, you know, one and included.
And everyone here is like a big communal thing.
But with this song, I've never played it before.
I'm super nervous. _
So please listen.
That's all I'm asking.
Just please listen. _
I _ wrote this song _ about losing someone.
And _ what I will say is that I find with songs like I never want to be with my songs.
Like this song is about this.
Therefore, you should whenever you listen to this song, think about this.
Like I find songs when they're out in the public, they belong to everyone else.
Like Perfect, I wrote about my wife, but I released it.
And now it belongs to everyone else.
And it's about everyone else's partners and everyone else.
And, you know, people have these stories about the people they love and it's connected to this song.
So with this song, don't think about my shit.
Think about your shit.
Like this is this is for you guys, for anyone who's ever lost anyone in this room.
This song is for you.
This isn't for me.
I'm singing it.
This now belongs to you.
This is Eyes Closed.

[F#] Me so hard.

Life just goes [C#] on.
