Coldplay - Speed Of Sound

A                      Em
how long before I get in
Em                            D
before it starts, before I begin
A                     Em
how long before you decide
Em                           D
before I know what it feels like
A                    Em
where to, where do I go?
Em                                    D
if you never try then you'll never know
A                       Em
how long do I have to climb
Em                                 D
up on this side of this mountain of mine

A                      Em
look up, I look up at night
Em                                   D
planets are moving at the speed of light
A                    Em
climb up, up in the trees
Em                                          D
every chance that you get, is a chance you seize
A                    Em
how long am I gonna stand
Em                            D
with my head stuck under the sand
A                        Em
I'll start before I can stop
Em                                D
before I see things the right way up

G              A               Bm7
and all that noise, all that sound
G           A                  Bm7
all these places that i have found
G                                       Bm
and the birds go flying at the speed of sound
F#m                   G
to show how it all began
G                           Bm
birds come flying from the underground
F#m                                   G
if you could see it then you'd understand

A                       Em
ideas that you'll never find
Em                              D
all the inventors could never design
A                             Em
all the buildings that you put up
Em                           D
Japan and China were all lit up
A                             Em
the first sign that I couldn't read
Em                            D
or a light that I couldn't see
A                          Em
some things you have to believe
Em                               D
but others are puzzles, puzzling me


G            A                  Bm7
and all that noise, all that sound
G           A                  Bm7
all these pieces that I have found
G                                     Bm
and the earth is gone flying at the speed of sound
F#m                      G
to show you how it all began
G                            Bm
birds come flying from the underground
F#m                                  G
if you could see it then you'd understand
F#m                                  G
if you could see it then you'd understand

D

G            A                   Bm7                          E7
all those signs I knew what they meant some things you can't invent
G           A            Bm7                          E7
some got made, some got sent ooh

G                        Bm
Birds go flying at the speed of sound
F#m                  G
to show how it all began
G                          Bm
birds came flying from the underground
F#m                                   G
if you could see it then you'd understand
F#m                                    G
oh, when you see it then you'll understand

G
