James Bay Craving
Feel free to comment on fixing lyrics as none were available and i wrote these up myself
This song is tuned down a tone and starts with a G (really an F) so transpose - 5 for barre chord version
but this way is much simpler
Chords Needed   Csus 2 - x30010 Fsus2 xx3010 Am7 xx2010 -(not the normal way) Dm -xx0231
Please rate and comment!
Capo 5
[Intro]                               (Acoustic intro that should work) 
C Csus2 Fsus2 Fsus2 Am7 C
[Verse]
C                                 Fsus2
Walking through the traffic on a Monday                (use a Fmajor if you prefer)
                     C
In the town I grew up
C                                 Fsus2
Shelter from the rain in every doorway
                            C
It’s dark and everyone’s numb 
C                                 Fsus2
Kids are making faces in the bus lane
                  C
But nobody looks up
C                                 Fsus2
Everyone’s life same as yesterday
                              C
Just like the ticking of clocks
[Chorus]
         Am        F
And I’m craving craving
C                      G
Craving something I can feel
         Am        F
Where do I go, what do i need
         C              G
Is it ecstasy or is it fear
     Am     F        C    G
Am I on my own, am I even close?
          F
'Coz I'm craving,   still
Craving something I can feel
[Intro riff]
C Csus2 Fsus2 Fsus2 Am7 C
[Verse 2]
C                                 Fsus2
Never thought the night would get so lonely
                    C
Till she called me up
C                                 Fsus2
Never thought these streets could've out grow me
                      C
I guess it wasn’t enough
C                                 Fsus2
I put my faith in everyone around me
                       C
Then she sold all my stuff
C                                 Fsus2
She was wild abandon,  Thats all I need
                     C
And someone I can trust
[Chorus 2]
      Am        F
And I’m craving craving
C                      G
Craving something I can feel
         Am        F
Where do I go, what do I need
         C                               G
Is it ecstasy or is it fear
     Am     F        C    G
Am I on my own am I even close
          F
'Coz I'm craving,   still
Craving something I can feel

[Bridge]
C Em
G                                    C Em
Take me far from streets and roads
Am                     F          CEm
                          (Quick)  
Leave me out in the night
G                                    C Em
Don’t show me the way back home
      Dm    F
Cause iiiiiiiiii

Am I on my own am I even close

Cause I'm craving
