This song is off of the deluxe version of Coldplay's sixth album "Ghost Stories".
This song is very simple and I think the chords sound good if you were going to play this song acoustically.
The lyrics are probably a bit off in places.
Chords: E A D G B E (brackets is an optional note)
E 0 7 9 9 9 0
C#m (4) 4 6 6 5 0
F#m (9) 9 11 11 10 0
D (5) 5 7 7 7 0 or Dmaj7 (5) 5 7 6 7 0
Bm x 2 4 4 3 0
Bsus4 x 2 4 4 5 0
I suggest playing the optional notes in the chorus but not in the verses.

That's all that's to it. A very simple song to play once you get the hang of the solo. :)
