Changed all D chords to Dm...
The fingerpicking in this one is pretty simple.. otherwise just bash out the chords, listen to the song for the correct timing..
Am X 0 2 2 1 0 C X 3 2 0 1 0 G 3 2 0 0 3 3 F 1 3 3 2 1 1 D X 5 7 7 6 5 C/B X 2 2 0 1 0
AmCG repeat
Am I got a faulty parachute CG I got a stranger's friend Am An exciting change in CG My butchers blend Am A symbol on the ceiling CG With the flick of a switch Am Yeah my new found hero CG And the enemy's ditching F
AmCG Well somebodies something was left in a room AmCG And now that its gone well of course we assume AmCG Somebody else needed something so bad AmCG They took everything somebody had F
CC/BAm Losing hope is easy DmG When your only friend is gone DmG And every time you look around DmGCC/B Well, it all, it all just seems to change AmCG
Am The mark was left CG Man it's never the same Am Next time that you shoot CG Make sure that you aim AmCG Open windows with passing cars Am A brand new night CGF With the same old stars
CC/BAm Losing hope is easy DmG When your only friend is gone DmG And every time you look around DmGCC/B Well, it all, it all just seems to change AmCG
Am Feed the fool CGAm A piece of the pie CGAm Make a fool of his system CGAm Make a fool of his mind CGAm Give him bottles of lies CGAm And maybe he'll find CGAm His place in heaven CGAm Cause he might just die F
CC/BAm Losing hope is easy DmG When your only friend is gone DmG And every time you look around DmGCC/B Well, it all, it all just seems to change
CC/BAm But hanging on is easy DmG When you've got a friend to call DmG When nothings making sense at all DmGCC/B You're not the only one that's afraid of change
