This file is my own work based off of the Coldplay Live 2003
DVD.
Note: The first thing to do is tune your HIGH 
E MajorE string up
to an F. This allows for all chords to be played smoothly
and easily. I have based this tab off of seeing Jon
Buckland play on stage.
The Chords used are:
Dm7Dm7 
BB Flat 
FF Major 
Fsus2Fsus2
FF 0 FF 0 FF 0 FF 0
BB 1 BB 6 BB 1 BB 1
G+G 2 G+G 7 G+G 2 G+G 0
D MajorD 0 D MajorD 8 D MajorD 3 D MajorD 3

Intro
The guitar doesn’t come in until about 1:50 into the song
but if you want to play along with the piano intro the
chords are as fallows.
Dm7Dm7 BB flat FF Major FF sus2
Chorus
Play the intro chord pattern through the chorus and then
transition the Chords C/FC/F Fsus2Fsus2 C majorC Major and C/GC/G as
fallows...
FF Major C/FC/F Fsus2Fsus2 C majorC Major
No one ever said it would be this hard.
Strum 
C/BC/B once. Oh take me back to the start...
FF Major BB Flat FF Major Dm7Dm7 BB
Flat FF Major Fsus2Fsus2
Note: When the lyrics Oh take me back to the start come in
is when Jon Buckland starts playing.
Play the Intro Chords again for the second verse. The song
repeats itself twice.
The outro Chords are as fallows
Dm7Dm7 BB flat FF Major
Play this until the end of the song and end on an FF major.
