   & ends a little of The Scientist's 'Ouuu...' bit.

Note: The intro starts with piano. What chord is that? I'm not sure,
   it could be BB or C. Then when the drums come in, the guitar &
   bass guitar joins together. At this point, the track is blur,
   because the bass guitar is very loud. So the intro here is given
   base on the bass guitar. All the C, D, E MajorE & A augmentedA in the intro is
   known as Cmajor1, Dsus, EsusEsus & Asus(could be A minorAm) for guitar.

Verse 1:

C/GC/G      A minorAm
From the very started,

C/GC/G    A minorAm
Came Earth parted,

C/GC/G      A minorAm   FF
Broke up into pieces and...

C/GC/G              A minorAm
There's a chance I could have missed it,

C/GC/G   A minorAm
It could risked it,

C/GC/G          A minorAm    FF
But I put myself into your hands,

Note: The pre chorus is hard. So listen carefully to this part of the
   song when you want to play it. Try it first with the bass
   guitar's tab then you will get it on your guitar. Again I use the
   bass guitar chord, so convert it to guitar when you get it. If
   you're playing the guitar for the first test in the pre chorus,
   you don't need to play the D MajorD & E. If you can, then convert the
   D MajorD & E MajorE to guitar chords as Dsus4Dsus4 & Esus4.

Pre Chorus:

            C majorC  |
 Cos you're not just anyone, |
               |
D MajorD    E MajorE        A augmentedA  |
 You're a ladder to the sun, |Once again, this is the for the base.
               |For guitar, play the C majorC & A augmentedA only.
D MajorD  E MajorE        C majorC    |Convert the C majorC & A augmentedA to C1 & Am.
 You're not just anyone,   |
               |
D MajorD    E MajorE       A augmentedA   |
 You're a ladder to the sun, |

Note: Lyrics here is just a guess at the 3rd line. So listen to the
   song for help.

Verse 2:

C/GC/G     A minorAm
I can run my courses and ah,

C/GC/G    A minorAm
Opposing forces and now I,

C/GC/G       A minorAm   FF
Then I'm just an author and...

C/GC/G             A minorAm
If you want me then you can have me,

 C/GC/G        A minorAm
Oh take me, oh baby grab me,

C/GC/G               A minorAm  FF
Cos If you want me then you can have me,

Note: The same as the first pre chorus.

Pre Chorus:

            C majorC
 Cos you're not just anyone,

D MajorD    E MajorE        A augmentedA
 You're a ladder to the sun,

D MajorD  E MajorE        C majorC
 You're not just anyone,

D MajorD    E MajorE        A augmentedA
 You're a ladder to the sun,

Note: The lyrics for the chorus is a guess, but I think it is correct.
   The chords for the chorus might not be right because of the way
   Chris Martin sing it with a 'throw vocals'(I think that's the
   correct term). So this is the best that I can figure it out.

Chorus:

Asus4Asus4        Bsus4Bsus4
Oh my babe, why you did not turn?

Asus4Asus4           Bsus4Bsus4    Asus4Asus4
You set a course and you could not run,

Asus4Asus4          Bsus4Bsus4     F# minorF#m C/GC/G
Oh when I'm out but you did't not turn...

Verse 3:

C/GC/G        A minorAm
I had it all and I risked it,

 C/GC/G    A minorAm
And it could risk it,

C/GC/G        A minorAm     FF
I had it all and I risked it all,

        C/GC/G
And I risked it all,

Note: The instrumental starts with the piano. Then the drums bangs in
   as the bass guitar finger-walks on the bass. While the electric
   guitar play the tabs given below. If you are using acoustic
   guitar, then all the C, D, E, & A augmentedA convert it to C1, Dsus, EsusEsus &
   Asus4(could be A minorAm).

Instrumental: C majorC C C majorC C (piano)
       C majorC D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA |
       D MajorD E MajorE C majorC  |Then the piano & the bass guitar
       C majorC D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA |play the same as the intro.
       D MajorD E MajorE C majorC  |

       The electric guitar's tab.

   alone.

Note: For better understanding listen to the song and try it out. But
   still, there is a feeling that in the intro & the intrumental,
   the DsusDsus could be Dminor. Maybe you can correct it if there is
