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]D [1]X [3]5 [3]7 [2]7 [1]6 [1]5
C/B X 2 2 0 1 0

Am C G repeat

[Am]I got a faulty parachute
I got a [C]stranger's [G]friend
An [Am]exciting change in
My [C]butchers ble[G]nd
A [Am]symbol on the ceiling
With the [C]flick of a [G]switch
[Am]Yeah my new found hero
And the [C]enemy's [G]ditching
[F]
[Am]Well somebodies something was [C]left in a [G]room
[Am]And now that its gone well of [C]course we [G]assume
[Am]Somebody else needed [C]something so [G]bad
[Am]They took everything [C]somebody [G]had
[F]
[C]Losing [C/B]hope is [Am]easy
[Dm]When your only [G]friend is gone
And [Dm]every time you [G]look around
[Dm]Well, it all, it[G] all just seems to [C]change[C/B]
[Am] [C] [G]
[Am]The mark was left
Man it's [C]never the [G]same
Next [Am]time that you shoot
Make [C]sure that [G]you aim
[Am]Open windows with [C]passing [G]cars
[Am]A brand new night
With the [C]same [G]old [F]stars

[C]Losing [C/B]hope is [Am]easy
[Dm]When your only [G]friend is gone
And [Dm]every time you [G]look around
[Dm]Well, it all, it[G] all just seems to [C]change[C/B]
[Am] [C] [G]
Feed the [Am]fool
[C]A [G]piece of the [Am]pie
[C]Make a [G]fool of his [Am]system
[C]Make a [G]fool of his [Am]mind
[C]Give him [G]bottles of [Am]lies
[C]And maybe [G]he'll fi[Am]nd
[C]His [G]place in [Am]heaven
[C]Cause he [G]might just [Am]die
[F]
[C]Losing [C/B]hope is [Am]easy
[Dm]When your only [G]friend is gone
And [Dm]every time you [G]look around
[Dm]Well, it all, it[G] all just seems to [C]change[C/B]

[C]But [C/B]hanging on is [Am]easy
[Dm]When you've got a [G]friend to call
[Dm]When nothings making [G]sense at all
[Dm]You're not the only [G]one that's afraid of [C]chang[C/B]e

[Am]repeat ([C]x2) [G]then bass outro
