The pattern played for the verse is very similar to the intro pattern, but if you want, you can add the D

string more frequently and it is also played louder than the rest, which is played quite softly

(or the C string for the C/E chord. you can even add an 'f' [3rd fret, d string] if you

fancy it)

[VERSE]

[G]You're setting off, it's time to go, the engine's running

[C/E]My mind's lost, we always knew this day was coming

[Em]And now it's more fright'ning than it's ever gonna be[Csus2]

[G]We grow apart, I watch you on a red horizon

[C/E]Your lion's heart, I would touch you on a stormy sky

[Em] And I will always be listening for your laughter and your te[Csus2]ars

you can leave out the brackets for the G chord, because James Bay to plays them really fast and softly.

then you just strum it like the Cmaj3 chord pattern

 We l[G]ive through scars this time
 But I[Cmaj3]'ve made up my mind
 We c[D]an't leave us b[C]ehind
 G C G D strum twice
 Anymore
 [G] We'll have to hurt for now
 But n[Cmaj3]ext time, there's no doubt
 'Cause [D]I can't go witho[C]ut you
 Anymore[G][C][G]
