Here are the chords to 'Need to Know' by Calum Scott!!
It's from his special edition of 'Only Human'. This song only uses
4 chords in 1 progression that doesn't change so it's quite easy!
The only things that might throw some people are the synocpation of the second verse
as well as the timing of playing the 2nd and 4th chord in the progression (i.e. the D and G chord).
But play along with the song and you'll get the hang of it!
This song is super fun to play acoustic :)
