[Verse 1]
Cmaj7               Gmaj7
I can't wait to memorize
 this day
      Cmaj7
Oh, a picture could not
                    Gmaj7 Bm
contain the way it feels
Cmaj7
You say, "Live in the present"
            Gmaj7
I'm already dreaming
 of how it begins
    Cmaj7
And trying to savor
 the moment
               Gmaj7
But I know the feelin'
                 Bm
 will come to an end

[Chorus]
     Cmaj7     Gmaj7
So I crave, crave
                     Cmaj7
To do it again, all again
          Gmaj7
Crave, crave

To do it again, ah
Cmaj7
Just for a second,
 it all felt simple
    Gmaj7
I'm already missing it

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
I romanticize even
     Gmaj7
the worst of times
     Cmaj7
When all it took to make
                   Gmaj7 Bm
me cry was being alive
Cmaj7
Look up and see a reflection
               Gmaj7
Of someone who never
 gave way to the pain
          Cmaj7
What if I told 'em that
 now that I'm older
              Gmaj7
There isn't a moment
                Bm
that I'd wanna change

How to play Crave: key, chords and progression

These are Crave chords by Paramore on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Crave by Paramore is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 5 chords in all: Cmaj7, Gmaj7, Bm, Em and D.

The backbone of the song is Gmaj7 – Cmaj7 – Gmaj7 – Bm (Imaj7 – IVmaj7 – Imaj7 – iii in G major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – doh – mi. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes Fmaj7, Cmaj7, Em, Am, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
