Biography:
Charlie Robert Simpson (born 7 June 1985 in Woodbridge, Suffolk, England), is the vocalist and guitarist in British post-hardcore band Fightstar and ex Busted member.
The Parachutes Songfacts states that Charlie Simpson has a strong musical pedigree dating back to one of his mother's ancestors, Sir William Sterndale Bennett (1816-1875), who was a distinguished classical music composer of the romantic school. Charlie attended public school Uppingham, along with the likes of Harry Judd from McFly and his ex-girlfriend Camilla Smith.

DOWN DOWN DOWN - Charlie Simpson
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Mono
Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
I'm really liking Charlie's new solo stuff, nice and acoustic, but there are no tabs at
all on here! So I decided to do one for the new single. Might do a few others off the
free EP in a while. This probably isn't perfect, especially since I've taken it mostly
from the demo version. Anyway...
See at the bottom for the weird chords in the chorus. And listen to the song for the
rhythms, they change quite a lot throughout the song.

Intro (hammer on the Em chord the second time):
Em Em D C x2
Verse (same as Intro):
Em Em D C x8
There are too many people in this world
Trying to shout their names
How am I supposed to know where to run?
But I don't know who's to blame
And I give people something along the way
Is it OK to be afraid of love if you don't understand it?
Chorus (some of these chords are a bit iffy):
Em C G Eb* (Em* D*) G
D5 Csus4 x2
And the nights are so long without you
And the days speed up,
My god I'll never let go of you now
Cause some things are not worth changing
My heart swells to the size of an orchid
It takes the rest of my heart with it
Going down down down...
But I'm never going back home
Verse again:
We've sent people into space without even really knowing
If there ever gonna come back down
And there are people asking
Just where I am,
Is it ok to be afraid of hope if you don't know how to keep it?
Chorus again (stop at the start of the repeat, come back in on the G):
And the nights are so long without you
And the days speed up,
My god I just can't lose you now
But things are about to change
My heart swells to the size of an orchid
It takes the rest of my heart with it
Going down down down...
But I'm neverrrrr going back home
Break:
G G D C
Outro:
G D Em C
If people on Earth could just get together
Then maybe we could find a place for each other
If people on Earth could just stand together
Then maybe we could find a place for each other
If people on Earth could just get together again
Maybe we could find a place for each other
If people on Earth could just get together again
Maybe we could find a place for each other now...
Finish on G
