This song is possibly my favourite of all time 
and when i had finally tabbed (all my own work)
and learnt to play this song I was over the
moon! It took me nearly 2 months to get this
song right so i hope all of you coldplay fans out
there appreciate it!I used both the album version
and the Jo whiley Lunchtime Social acoustic version 
to figure out the melody,because you can hear finer 
detail in the acoustic version.This is quite a difficult
song to play and so for now i have only managed to get
the melody right,but i am half way working through the 
chords so i'll post them when i'm finished.You will need
some quick fingering in this song which can take a while
to perfect but once you've got it down you'll be sorted.
Also the timing is crucial in this song, so i suggest 
that you learn all the riffs fluently and quick enough 
before you try to play along with the song otherwise you
will just get lost, have to start the song again and
eventually wear your CD player out! Don't worry if it 
isn't sounding right immediatly just keep listening to 
the song over and over until you have mastered it!
            Good Luck...

Verse 1- melody is played in between the breaks in the 
lyrics (just listen to the song to get what i mean)

do you...........
    |----14----12------11------9------| 
    |-------------9-------9------9----|   
    |-11----11------11------11-----11-| 
    |---------------------------------|

    |---------------------------------|(x2) 

In these two riffs, i have left out a couple of
notes because a)it sounds good like this 
and b)it is just too complicted other wise!

don't you..............

*The solo i have tabbed isn't entirely accurate,and can
instead be used as a guideline to composing your
own little piece. Just stick to this scale and it 
should sound ok. 

Outro:
