Verse 1
A G D
How long before I get in, before it starts, before I begin
A G D
How long before you decide, or before I know what it feels like
A G D
Where to, where do I go, if you never try then you'll never know
A G D
And how long do I have to climb up on this side of this mountain of mine
Riff: [Repeat Intro]
Verse 2
Look up, I look up at night, planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees, every chance that you get, is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand, with my head stuck under the sand
I’ll start before I can stop, or before I see things the right way up
Pre-Chorus 1
G A Bm7
And all that noise, all that sound
G A Bm7
And all those places that I have found
Chorus 1
G Bm7 D/F# G
And birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began
G Bm7 F#m G
Birds keep flying from the underground and if you could see it then you'd understand
F#m G
Oh when you see it then you'll understand
Riff: [Repeat Intro]
Verse 3
Ideas that you'll never find, all the inventors could never design
All the buildings that you put up, of Japan and China were all lit up
The first sign that I couldn't read, all the light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe, but others are puzzles, puzzling me
Pre-Chorus 1 Chorus, 1 and Riff (As above)
Pre-Chorus 2
G A Bm7 E7
All those signs, I knew what they meant, some things you can't invent
G A Bm7 E7
Some get made, and some get sent Ooh
Chorus 2
G Bm7 D/F# G
Birds go flying at the speed of sound to show you how it all began
G Bm7 F#m G
Birds keep flying from the underground if you could see it then you'd understand
F#m G
Oh when you see it then you'll understand
Notes:
- Coldplay plays Em7 instead of G, but I like the sound of G
- They also play the chords up and down the neck using various chord voicings,
but the song sounds great if only played in the first position
