Chords with lyrics
This is the simplest way to play it (and the chords Toby uses in the song). Figured it
out by piano so no capo. Enjoy!
*You can add a Bb majorBb at the end of each verse after the Gm*
**You can also go from the F minorFm to a quick AbmAbm to Bb. (This actually sounds the best)**
AbmAbm
C minorCm
This song sounds dramatic
Bb majorBb
but I'm bad at writing words.
F minorFm
If you don't speak English,
G minorGm
this probably sounds pretty good.
C minorCm
You'd probably think I'm singing
Bb majorBb
bout some pretty serious stuff.
F minorFm
But in reality, I'm singing 'bout
G minorGm
the lack of stuff
C minorCm
i'm singing 'bout. This part's intense.
Bb majorBb
And emotional.
F minorFm
As long as
G minorGm
you don't understand it.
C minorCm
Your foreign grandma
Bb majorBb
would love this song.
F minorFm
Please send it to her,
G minorGm
and she'll probably tell her
C minorCm
foreign friends about the song her
Bb majorBb
grandson or daughter sent her today.
F minorFm
This song might hit the charts in her country
G minorGm
if parts sounded like
C minorCm
Cooooldplayyyyyyy
Bb majorBb
...
F minorFm
If the chorus sounds like
G minorGm
Coldplllayyyy
C minorCm
Then I put some
Bb majorBb
'La-La-La's in there.
F minorFm
La la la la la,
Bb majorBb)
la la la la la la la (Coldplay)
C minorCm
Hopefully your foreign grandma
Bb majorBb
listens to this song everyday.
F minorFm
And if she asks you to
G minorGm
translate the lyrics, here's what you say:
C minorCm
"A perfect translation
Bb majorBb
does not exist.
F minorFm
Well, at least,
G minorGm
not in your language.
C minorCm
But if you must know,
Bb majorBb
well, picture this:
F minorFm
Fifty billion rainbows,
G minorGm
and the sun is setting, and the
C minorCm
moon is setting, also,
Bb majorBb
and you're there in a gazebo.
F minorFm
And then God descends from heaven
G minorGm
and He gives you a million dollars.
C minorCm
Take that feelinggggg,
Bb majorBb
and put it into a song.
F minorFm
I could translaaaaaate word by word,
G minorGm
but that'd take too long.
C minorCm
And I've got stuff to do grandma.
Bb majorBb
I don't have time for this.
F minorFm
You've gotta trust me grandma,
Bb majorBb)
