Initially, I wasn’t that big on this song, but after awhile it grew on me and
became one of my favorite Coldplay songs, ever. The actual version has an extra
string tuned to
D
from what I can hear. This version is as accurate as I could
get it using standard tuning, and it’s quite easy with only one barre

(Okay, that’s it. You just repeat the same chords for the next stanza and
chorus, and so on. At the end of the song there are some nifty chords, but I’m
not sure how to explain them.)
He said “I’m gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside my baby, watch the orange glow
Some will laugh and some just sit and cry
But you just sit down there and you wonder why
So I’m gonna buy
A
gun and start
A
war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
And I’m gonna buy this place that’s what I said
Blame it upon

Oh to the head

Honey
All the movements you’re starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without
A
trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They said start as you mean to go on
As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on
So meet me by the bridge,
Oh meet me by the lane
When
Am
I going to see
That pretty face again
Meet me on the road
Meet me where I said
Blame it all upon
A
rush of blood to the head
