Here are the chords to 'Give Me Something' by Calum Scott.
It's from his album 'Only Human' and it's such a cool song :)
Throughout the song, syncopated G chords are used to transition
between other chords! These are optional if you don't feel like playing
them but I've included them in the tab for greater accuracy. I find
plucking the strings in the syncopated rhythm during the verses
and prechorus much more easy than strumming. Just
listen and play along with the actual song if you're not sure how
they're meant to be played!

Here are the chords to 'Give Me Something' by Calum Scott.

It's from his album 'Only Human' and it's such a cool song :)

Throughout the song, syncopated G chords are used to transition

between other chords! These are optional if you don't feel like playing

them but I've included them in the tab for greater accuracy. I find

plucking the strings in the syncopated rhythm during the verses

and prechorus much more easy than strumming. Just
