The Hardest Part - Coldplay - X&Y
Huge shout-out to Charlie Edmonds for providing the chords
[Used tuning] Eb G# C# F# Bb D
The tuning is quite simple, have a standard tuning and tune down every string a halfstep down and on
top of that tune the high E string down a half-step again (you can play it just by tuning to standard and
tuning the high E string a half-step down)

[Intro]
E G# C# E F# G#
[Verse]
E
And the hardest part
B D# G#
Was letting go not taking part
E B D# G#
Was the hardest part
E
And the strangest thing
B D# G#
Was waiting for that bell to ring
E B D# E*
It was the strangest start
[Chorus]
E* B F# E
I could feel it go down
B F# E
Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth
B F#
Silver lining the clouds
G# F# E D# C#
Oh and I - I
G#
I wish that I could work it out
[Solo]
G# E B D# x2
[Verse]
E
And the hardest part
B D# G#
Was letting go not taking part
E D# G#
You really broke my heart, oh
E
And I tried to sing
B D# G#
But I couldn't think of anything
E B D# E*
That was the hardest part, oh, oh
[Chorus]
E* B F# E
I could feel it go down
B F# E
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
B F#
Silver lining the cloud
G# F# E D# C#
Oh and I - I
G# F# E D# C#
Oh and I - I
C# D#
I wonder what it's all about
C#
I wonder what it's all about
[Solo]
G# - E - B - D# x2 (the last time you play D# play it twice)
[Bridge]
E G# C#
Everything I know is wrong
E G# C#
Everything I do it just comes undone
E G# C#
And everything is torn a---part
E
Oh, and that's the hardest part
F#
That's the hardest part
E
Yeah, that's the hardest part
F# G#
That's the hardest part....
