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!
Beautiful song from Charlie's latest album 'Long Road Home'.
Relatively simple chord progression, I use standard tuning with a capo on the 3rd fret,
sounds most like the way Charlie plays it, chords can be picked or strummed :)
Intro: Bm G D A
Verse
Bm
We kept our heads down we went through the water’s way
G
We lay still until winter had worn off
Bm A
There were cold winds, bringing storms together
Bm
There were black clouds, there were rainbows,
G
We could see the messages etched on the fenceposts
D A
From the summer nights, when we slept outside under starlight
Chorus
Bm G
Would you love me any less,
D A
If my eyes became weak, if I could no longer hear you speak
Bm G
Would you love me any less,
D A
You were born with an honest heart, and it carried me from the start.
(Same progression for the next verse)
We kept our skin warm as we walked on the old rail tracks
The sun beam mixed the heat down on our backs
There was nothing, that could ever change us
There were picture frames on the windowsill
With a picture of us looking so still
Guess I thought that, we’d be here forever
Chorus
Bm G
Would you love me any less,
D A
If my lungs became weak, if I lost the strength to eat
Bm G
Would you love me any less,
D A
You were born with an honest heart, and it carried me from the start.
Bridge (Picked)
Bm G Bm A
Bm
Oh my, oh my,
G
Would you walk on holy water,
D
Oh my, oh my,
A
Could you walk through bricks and mortar
Chorus
Bm G
Would you love me any less,
D A
If my eyes became weak, if I could no longer hear you speak
Bm G
Would you love me any less,
D A
You were born with an honest heart, and it carried me from the start.
Bm G
Would you love me any less,
D A
If my eyes became weak, if I could no longer hear you speak
Bm G
Would you love me any less,
D A
You were born with an honest heart, and it carried me from the start.
