The Hardest Part - Coldplay - X&Y

Huge shout-out to Charlie Edmonds for providing the chords

[Used tuning] Eb MajorEb G#G# C#C# F#F# Bb majorBb D MajorD

The tuning is quite simple, have a standard tuning and tune down every string a halfstep down and on
top of that tune the high E MajorE string down a half-step again (you can play it just by tuning to standard and
tuning the high E MajorE string a half-step down)

[Intro]
 E MajorE G#G# C#C# E MajorE F#F# G#G#

[Verse]
    E MajorE
And the hardest part
  BB       D#D#      G#G#
Was letting go not taking part
    E MajorE       BB  D#D#  G#G#
Was the hardest part
    E MajorE
And the strangest thing
  BB        D#D#       G#G#
Was waiting for that bell to ring
      E MajorE        BB D#D# E*
It was the strangest start

[Chorus]
  E*       BB   F#F#  E MajorE
I could feel it go down
          BB      F#F#   E MajorE
Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth
         BB     F#F#
Silver lining the clouds
    G#G# F#F# E MajorE D#D# C#C#
Oh and I   -  I
              G#G#
I wish that I could work it out

[Solo]
G#G# E MajorE BB D#D# x2

[Verse]
    E MajorE
And the hardest part
  BB       D#D#      G#G#
Was letting go not taking part
      E MajorE       D#D#  G#G#
You really broke my heart, oh
   E MajorE
And I tried to sing
   BB         D#D#    G#G#
But I couldn't think of anything
       E MajorE       BB  D#D# E*
That was the hardest part, oh, oh

[Chorus]
  E*       BB   F#F#  E MajorE
I could feel it go down
       BB          F#F#   E MajorE
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
         BB    F#F#
Silver lining the cloud
    G#G# F#F# E MajorE D#D# C#C#
Oh and I   -  I
    G#G# F#F# E MajorE D#D# C#C#
Oh and I   -  I
 C#C#             D#D#
I wonder what it's all about
 C#C#
I wonder what it's all about

[Solo]
G#G# - E MajorE - BB - D#D# x2 (the last time you play D#D# play it twice)

[Bridge]
       E MajorE  G#G# C#C#
Everything I know is wrong
       E MajorE      G#G#   C#C#
Everything I do it just comes undone
         E MajorE  G#G# C#C#
And everything is torn a---part
          E MajorE
Oh, and that's the hardest part
      F#F#
That's the hardest part
         E MajorE
Yeah, that's the hardest part
      F#F#       G#G#
