~Capo on 5~
The chords are the same throughout the entire song, it's very simple.
The strumming pattern I use is down, down, up, up*, down, up.
*Dig into that strum a little to give it more of a swing.

       (G)          (Cadd9)
San Francisco in November
     (G)            (Cadd9)
 The water it's still warm
             (C)
 When you're broken
           (Am)      (D)     (G)
 You can't tell them what went wrong
(Cadd9) (G)    (Cadd9)
 Whoooo-whooooo-whooooo
The Jumper is what they'll name you
 Just another jumper, not the first
 When you're broken
 You can't tell them where it hurts
 When you're broken
 You can't tell them where it hurts
(Cadd9)  (G)
 One two three
 One two three
 Did you count one two three?
 Did you count one two three?
 Easy as one two three
 Easy as one two three
 Easy as one two three
 Did you count one two three?
 And then
 Whoooo-whoooo-whooooo
I'm sorry that I never met you
 I'm sorry that we never touched
 When you're broken you forget there's so much
 When you're broken you forget there's so much more
 You forget there's so much more
 You forget there's so much more
 Then You
 Whoooo-ooooo-ooooo-oooo-ooooo
