Lyrics and Music by Ed Sheeran, Benjamin Levin

Intro: F5 | F5 | F5 | F5

F5                   Bb
When I was six years old
                Dm7 C              F5
I broke my leg,
          F5    Bb
I was running from my brother
    Dm7          C              F5
And his friends.
   F5      Bb
Tasted the sweet perfume
       Dm7
Of the mountain grass
   C                       F5
As I rolled down.
         F5    Bb    Dm7
I was younger then.
                C
Take me back to when

   C        F5
   I
    Bb           C              F
   Found my heart and broke it here,
   Made friends
       Bb
   And lost them through the years,
                  C
   And I’ve not seen
                  F
   The roaring fields in so long,
   Bb
   I know I’ve grown,
 C
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     F           Bb
     I’m on my way,
     Dm7        C
     Driving at ninety down
     F              Bb
     Those country lanes,
     Dm7         C
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         F           Bb
     And I miss the way
             Dm7     C
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     F              Bb
     We watched the sunset
     Dm7      C               F5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: F5 | F5

F5            Bb
Fifteen years old and smoking
    Dm7                 C              F5
Hand-rolled cigarettes,
             F5     Bb
Running from the law through the backfields
   Dm7                 C                    F5
And getting drunk with my friends.
       F5    Bb                 Dm7
Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
        C                           F5
I don’t reckon that I did it right.
          F5    Bb    Dm7
I was younger then.
                C
Take me back to when

      C        F5 Bb
   We found
            C                 F
   Weekend jobs, when we got paid
                   Bb
   We’d buy cheap spirits
   And drink them straight.
                 C
   Me and my friends
                    F
   Have not thrown up in so long,
   Bb
   Oh, how we’ve grown,
 C
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     F           Bb
     I’m on my way,
     Dm7        C
     Driving at ninety down
     F              Bb
     Those country lanes,
     Dm7         C
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         F           Bb
     And I miss the way
             Dm7     C
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     F              Bb
     We watched the sunset
     Dm7      C               F
     Over the castle on the hill,
           Bb
     Oooh,
     Dm7      C               F
     Over the castle on the hill,
           Bb
     Oooh,
     Dm7      C               F5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: Dm7 | Bb | F | C C

Bridge:
 Dm7            Bb
   One friend left to sell clothes,
 F             C
   One works down by the coast,
 Dm7             Bb
   One had two kids but lives alone,
 F        C
   One’s brother overdosed,
 Dm7          Bb
   One’s already on his second wife,
 F              C
   One’s just barely getting by
      Dm7              Bb
   But these people raised me
       F       C
   And I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
         F              Bb
     And I’m on my way,
     Dm7       C
     I still remember
            F              Bb
     These old country lanes
          Dm7        C
     When we did not know the answers
         F           Bb
     And I miss the way
             Dm7     C
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     F              Bb
     We watched the sunset
     Dm7      C               F
     Over the castle on the hill,
           Bb
     Oooh,
     Dm7      C               F
     Over the castle on the hill,
           Bb
     Oooh,
     Dm7      C               F5
     Over the castle on the hill.
