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
Am C G repeat
Am
I got a faulty parachute
C G
I got a stranger’s friend
Am
An exciting change in
C G
My butchers blend
Am
A symbol on the ceiling
C G
With the flick of a switch
Am
Yeah my new found hero
C G
And the enemy’s ditching
F
Am C G
Well somebodies something was left in a room
Am C G
And now that its gone well of course we assume
Am C G
Somebody else needed something so bad
Am C G
They took everything somebody had
F
C C/B Am
Losing hope is easy
Dm G
When your only friend is gone
Dm G
And every time you look around
Dm G C C/B
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
Am C G
Am
The mark was left
C G
Man it’s never the same
Am
Next time that you shoot
C G
Make sure that you aim
Am C G
Open windows with passing cars
Am
A brand new night
C G F
With the same old stars
C C/B Am
Losing hope is easy
Dm G
When your only friend is gone
Dm G
And every time you look around
Dm G C C/B
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
Am C G
Am
Feed the fool
C G Am
A piece of the pie
C G Am
Make a fool of his system
C G Am
Make a fool of his mind
C G Am
Give him bottles of lies
C G Am
And maybe he’ll find
C G Am
His place in heaven
C G Am
Cause he might just die
F
C C/B Am
Losing hope is easy
Dm G
When your only friend is gone
Dm G
And every time you look around
Dm G C C/B
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
C C/B Am
But hanging on is easy
Dm G
When you’ve got a friend to call
Dm G
When nothings making sense at all
Dm G C C/B
You’re not the only one that’s afraid of change
Am C G
repeat [x2] then bass outro
