F                          A#sus2
Walking through the traffic on a Monday
                F
In the town I grew up
F                        A#sus2
Shelter from the rain in every doorway
                   F
It’s dark and everyone’s numb

Kids are making faces in the bus lane
But nobody looks up
Everyone's life the same as yesterday
Just like the ticking of clocks

Chorus:
         Dm       A#
And I’m craving craving
  F                      C
Craving something I can feel
         Dm            A#
Where do I go, what do i need
      F                 C
Is it ecstasy or is it fear
     Dm    A#        F      C
Am I on my own, am I even close?
          A#
'Coz I'm craving, still
Craving something I can feel

Never thought the night could get so lonely
'til she called me up
Never thought these streets could've out-grown me
I guess it wasn't enough

So I put my faith in everyone around me
Then she sold all my stuff
Sheer and wild abandon that's all I need
And someone I can trust

Chorus:
'Coz I'm craving, craving, craving something I can feel
Where do I go, what do I need, is it ecstasy or is it fear?
Am I on my own, am I even close?
'Coz I'm craving, still craving something I can feel

C                                 F Am
Take me far from streets and roads
Dm                       A# F Am
Leave me out in the night
C
Don’t show me the way back home
      Gm A#
Cause I

Chorus:
Yes I'm craving, craving, craving something I can feel
Oh where do I go, what do I need, is it ecstasy or is it fear?
Am I on my own, am I even close?
'Coz I'm craving, still craving something I can feel

Oh, craving something I can feel
Oh, craving something I can feel
Craving
Craving something I can feel
