Parachute - One Small Step

tabbed by : devin

tuning : standard

i haven’t been able to find the chords for this song anywhere , so i tried to learn
it by ear . it sounds right ! i can’t figure out the little lead into the chorus
though , so if you know it , please tell me !

C G
oh this is one small step i know
D Em
but it’s the last time i’ll ever see you’re face
C G
i’ll go out on a limb , we’ll hope it won’t break
D
it’s just five words

C G
i’m figuring out just what i need to say
D Em
i’m writing it down and i’m getting it straight
C G
it’s a double edge sword . it’s a very first date .
D
it can go both ways .

what i had was tried and true

but all i want is you

C G
so i’m trying hard not to fight it
D Em
light this fire and stand right beside it
C G D
if i go down at least i’ll go in flames
C G
i’ll sing it out at the top of my lungs
D Em
the choir is small but it sings a big song
C G D
and if i go down at least you know my name .

C G
oh this is one big step i’m sure
D Em
it doesn’t mean much but i can’t do much better
C G
i never thought it’d be so hard
D
to say hello

C G
i caught a glimpse and i never looked back
D Em
i’ll throw out the rope and we’ll cut out the slack
C G
i’m keeping things tight , keeping it on track
D
it’s just five words

what i had was tried and true

but all i want is you

C G
so i’m trying hard not to fight it
D Em
light this fire and stand right beside it
C G D
if i go down at least i’ll go in flames
C G
i’ll sing it out at the top of my lungs
D Em
the choir is small but it sings a big song
C G D
and if i go down at least you know my name .
