The Hardest Part Acoustic chords by Coldplay

The Hardest Part - Coldplay - X&Y

Huge shout-out to Charlie Edmonds for providing the chords

[Used tuning] Eb G# C# F# Bb D

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 string down a half-step again (you can play it just by tuning to standard and
tuning the high E string a half-step down)

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

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

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

[Solo]
G#  E  B  D# x2

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

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

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

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