Parachute by James Durbin
Parachute
No capo
Intro and verse: Bm, G, D, A
Hangin like a broken star in the sky
No reason to shine
Thinkin I could never be
Someone's wish on
The first star at night
And I believed there was nothing left
Left in my chest
Then I lost my grip
When you made a wish
I could never have guessed
Pre-chours:
G
I'm in a free fall
But I won't crash
D
Hit the ground
And I bounce right back
Bm
I'm not comin down no more
A
Not comin down no more
Chorus:
G
I've lost all gravity now
D
Like walking on the moon
A
Feels like I'm floating away
Bm A
Without a parachute
I've lost my fear of flying
I'm falling hard for you
Not scared of anything
So I think I think I'll just
G
Jump jump jump jump
D
Without my parachute
Bm
Jump jump jump jump
A
Straight into you
Verse 2: Bm, G, D, A
I was torn I was left with a permanent scar
I'd been there before
But you saw through every flaw
Found what was lost
So I pulled the rip cord
I'm lettin go
I'm gonna jump this time
Into the blue
Now I won't look back
No I won't look back
With someone like you
Pre-chourus: G, D, Bm, A
I'm in a free fall
But I won't crash
Hit the ground
And I bounce right back
I'm not comin down no more
Not comin down no more
Chorus: G, D, A, Bm, A
I've lost all gravity now
Like walking on the moon
Feels like I'm floating away
Without a parachute
I've lost my fear of flying
I'm falling hard for you
Not scared of anything
So I think I think I'll just
Hook- G, D, Bm, A
Jump jump jump jump
Without my parachute...
Jump jump jump jump
Without my parachute...
Jump jump jump jump
Without my parachute
Jump jump jump jump
Straight into you...
Straight into you...
Bm, G, D, A
G D
Straight into youuuuuu
A, F#m
G
No I won't look back
A
No I won't look back
Chorus: G, D, A, Bm
Cuz I've lost all gravity now
Like walking on the moon
Feels like I'm floating away
Without a parachute
I've lost my fear of flying
I'm falling hard for you
Not scared of anything
So I think I think I'll just
Hook- G, D, Bm, A
Jump jump jump jump
Without my parachute...
Jump jump jump jump
Without my parachute...
Jump jump jump jump
Without my parachute...
Jump jump jump jump
Straight into you

version 2
just keep your pinky and index fingers in the same position (index on the D string, and
then the pinky three frets up on the B string). Use your middle for the Bm chord
and your ring finger for the other three. If you have trouble moving your fingers
that fast, you can also play the open G string during the G chord section instead
of the 5th fret on the D, like I notated in parentheses. Here are the finger
positions for you, just in case that didn't make sense (i = index, m = middle, r =
ring, p = pinky):
Bm G D A
|x x 9 x 12 10| |x x 5 x 8 7| |x x 0 x 3 2| |x x 7 x 10 9|
i p m i p r p r i p r

You can also add some more fill in here if it sounds too quiet.
