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.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
From Charlie Simpson's new album, out in 2014. He picks most of the notes but
these chords also sound pretty great :)
I play the whole song with my bottom two fingers on the 3rd fret of the B and e
strings (E.g. The G is 3-2-0-0-3-3).
Tuning: Standard
CAPO 1ST FRET
Intro
G, C, G, C, G, C, G, C
Verse 1
G C G
Scent dripping down from our feet,
C
Right beneath the piers where we were first to meet.
D
And I caught you once, but you let me down twice.
C
I don't know how.
G
There was a place we would all go to sing.
D
We'd gather 'round the old town church
D
To hear those bells ring.
C
I'll never forget those days --
G
When I was worthy of your love.
C, G, C, G, C, G
CHORUS
C G
And I promise I won't make a sound
C G
'Cause I figure you no longer want me around.
G D
And I know that the days will pass
Em7 D C
And soon, we'll be rid of these things.
D
So let soft words be spoken.
G
Join in these winter hymns.
C, G, C, G, C, G, C
VERSE 2
G C G
Crows flying out with old wings.
C
Bitter breath with lungs that barely had the strength to sing.
D
And I fought you once, but you let me win twice,
C
I don't know why.
G
And there's a chapter that I keep on trying to read.
D
But the pages stick and crumble where your fingers used to be.
C
I'll never forget your hands,
G C G
'Cause they were always pushing me.
CHORUS
C G
And I promise I won't make a sound
C G
'Cause I figure you no longer want me around.
G D
And I know that the days will pass

And soon, we'll be rid of these things.

So let brave words be spoken.

BRIDGE

But just let us grow.
C G
Patience was lost in the sea.
C G D Em
Just don't go.
D
And though this darkness will come,
G
And my heart is in stormy weather,
C
And the pain is all I have for now,
D
And I'm homebound
CHORUS
C G
And I promise I won't make a sound
C G
'Cause I figure you no longer want me around.
