Hurts Like Heaven chords by Coldplay

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Tuning: Chris Martin plays with capo on the 6th fret with this tuning: E MajorE BB E MajorE G#G# BB e
but this tuning might break the strings due to the tension. So, if you don't want to risk your strings,
you could also play the song with capo on the 8th fret with this tuning: D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD F#F# A augmentedA d

Based on the live version (BBC live lounge), see the video.

E MajorE
Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park,
                     E/F#E/F#
Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?
A augmentedA
It's so cold, so cold,
A augmentedA
It's so cold, so cold.

E MajorE
Written up in marker on a factory sign,
                   E/F#E/F#
I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine.
A augmentedA
It's so cold, so cold,
A augmentedA
It's so cold, so cold.

BB
See the arrow that they shot, trying to tear us apart.
BB
took the fire from my belly, and the beat from my heart
A augmentedA
Still I won't let go,
A augmentedA
Still I won't let go.

E MajorE  E/F#E/F#  A augmentedA
You,
E MajorE
Yes, you do.
  BB
Oh you, use your heart as a weapon,
A augmentedA
And it hurts like heaven.

(In this solo, Chris Martin does something like this:)

E MajorE
On every street, every car, every surface are names,
                    E/F#E/F#
And now the streets arise and we're writing the same.
A augmentedA
Don't let them take control,
A augmentedA
No, we won't let them take control.

(E MajorE)
Yes, I feel a little bit nervous,
              (E/F#E/F#)
Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax.
(A augmentedA)
How come they're out to get us?
(A augmentedA)
How come they're out when they don't know the facts?

BB
So on a concrete canvas under cover of dark,
BB
On a concrete canvas I go making my mark.
A augmentedA
Armed with the spray can soul,
A augmentedA
I'll be armed with the spray can soul.

E MajorE  E/F#E/F#  A augmentedA
You,
  E MajorE  E/F#E/F#  A augmentedA
Oh you
    BB
'Cause you use your heart as a weapon,
A augmentedA
And it hurts like heaven.

E MajorE  E/F#E/F#  A augmentedA  E MajorE  E/F#E/F#  A augmentedA

BB   A augmentedA   E MajorE
Whoa, whoa,
   G#G#
It's true,
   BB
When you use your heart as a weapon,
A augmentedA
And it hurts like heaven

E MajorE  E/F#E/F#  A augmentedA  E MajorE  E/F#E/F#  A augmentedA

           E MajorE
And it hurts like heaven.
