The strumming pattern for this song is syncopated, but it isn’t too difficult. If you
to the song you’ll get it. Also, | these lines mean one bar |.
Whenever you play a G, you have to play it two different ways in quick succession: first
open G chord with a D on the B string, then with an open B on the B string. Again,
to the song and you’ll hear it.

Verse 1:
C Cmaj7 C7
Well I wish I had a parachute
F G
Cause I'm falling bad for you
C Cmaj7 C7
I can see the ground approaching now
F G
But I'm not sure what to do
Am G
I feel like the piñata
F G
Won't you take a swing at me
Am G
If you could just crack the shell open
F G
I think inside you would find something sweet
The chords are the same for the next two verses.
Verse 2:
Well I hear you like a hunter now
Your footsteps in the leaves
And I would gladly leave my hiding place
Yes I'm hoping to be seen
So let your arrow fly and sing
I'm well within your aim
Lay your traps for a thousand miles
And please don't let me escape
Verse 3:
Winter came to Omaha
It left us looking like a bride
A million perfect snowflakes now
And no two are alike
So it's hard for me imagining
The flaws in this design
I know debris, it covers everything
And still I am in love with this life
