Although R&B/Pop is usually not on my top shelf of music I enjoy listening to, I love being able to play along to this genre of music. So when I discovered Mr. Hudson and the Library I was at the least to say excited to hear a fresh sound.
I discovered Mr. Hudson right before his sophomore album, Straight No Chaser, was released in the states, I immediately caught on on to his highly catchy and singable melodies and the pop/hip-hop beats I was hearing. At first I didn't know how to categorize his music when I would share it with my friends. But I'm comfortable calling as it is, R&B/Pop...from Britain. Which in my opinion is a big difference from American R&B/Pop.
Anywho, here are chords to the songs to which i figured out on the piano from his Straight No Chaser album.
I will add more when I have time. Enjoy!

say you found our love, in the warm Pacific spring
cause I left our love in the desert to fend for itself
(i thought it better that way)
C G/B Am
Did you get my text?
Did i get my thoughts through?
It's hard to see things clearly, through the gossip and the gloom
Am7 G Fmaj7
I'm gonna blind our love, with the paparazzi flash
I'm gonna squash our love, like an economic crash
C G/B Am
Did you get my text? Did make myself clear?
it's kinda hard to see this through, through the gossip and the beer
Am7 G Fmaj7
They say "Boy you've changed." well i say "You've changed too."
Follow me up the alps, I've got things to do "Scatter the ashes here"
C G/B Am
Didn't you get my text? Didn't that get thru?
It's hard to make myself clear thrut the gossip and the beer.
Am7 G Fmaj7
Will you follow me to LDN where I know the streets?
I don't need reinforcements cos you won't know where I live.
C G/B Am
Didn't you get my message? did the text not get thru?
It's getting hard to see these days thru the gossip and the gloom, the beery gloom.

Keep opening doors, keep pulling those strings
But the midnight hour is mine
The midnight hour is mine
C G/B Am F F#dim
Please lift your head from your hands
Tomorrow is another day
Well think about it then I say
And there's no weight too great
There's no distance too far
Keep flying the flag and keep banging the drum
Cos the midnight hour is mine
The midnight hour is mine
Please lift your head from your hands
Tomorrow is another day
Well think about it then I say
C G/B Am F F#dim
Oh, what can I do to save the day?
If only it were as easy as a dvd and a takeaway
Oh, what can I do, what can I do?
What can I do, what can I do?
C G/B Am F F#dim
I say, please lift your head from your hands
Oh, please lift your head from your hands
Tomorrow is another day
You can think about it then I say
Please lift your head from your hands
Tomorrow is another day
Let's think about it then I say
