Вступление
Attempt to capture chords and shapes for the way Ed played this for an Instagram live on October 31, 2021:

As with many of his songs, Ed plays this in different keys. For the Instagram live performance linked above,
he used the shapes I have indicated below. To play these chord shapes along with his original album track,
you would need to transpose -1 (move each shape down 1 fret).
He arpeggiates the chords in this acoustic version. The chord maps below only indicate the strings I think
I am hearing him pick at various points in the song.
Note that there are a few slight differences between the lyrics he sang in this live version and the
official track.

[Verse 1]
How was I to know? It's a crazy thing
I showed you my ha-and and you still let me win
Who was I to say that this was meant to be?
The road that was broken brought us together
[Chorus]
And I know you could fall for a thousand kings
And hearts that could give you a diamond ring
When I fold, you see the best in me
The joker and the queen
[Verse 2]
I was upside down from the outside in
You came to the table and you went all in
With a single word and a gentle touch
You turned a mo-ment into forever
[Chorus]
And I know you could fall for a thousand kings
And hearts that could give you a diamond ring
When I fold, you see the best in me
The joker and the queen
[Instrumental]
Hmmm...
Hmmm...
[Chorus]
And I know you could fall for a thousand kings
And hearts that could give you a diamond ring
When I folded, you saw the best in me
The joker and the queen
The joker and the queen
