Coldplay is a British alternative rock band formed in London in 1996. The band's singer/pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion, met at University College London and came together from 1996 to 1998. During these two years, the band changed names from Pectoralz to Starfish and, finally, to Coldplay. Creative director and former manager Phil Harvey is often referred to as the fifth member by the band.

Coldplay - A Message tab Capo 1st fret Standard Tuning
------------------------------------------------- Tabbed this bout a year ago on the piano. With capo on the first fret it should be right on the money. The piano chords are a step up from these. C -> C# -------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
CAmG My song is love CAmG Love to the loveless shown CAmG And it goes on DmCG You don't have to be alone
CAmG Your heavy heart CAmGFC Is made of stone CAmG And it's so hard to see clearly DmCG You don't have to be on your own FCG You don't have to be on your own
[Chorus]
DmCG And I'm not gonna take it back DmCG And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that DmCG You're the target that I'm aiming at FCG And I'll get that message home
[Verse]
CAmG My song is love CAmGFC My song is love, unknown CAmG But I'm on fire for you, clearly DmCG You don't have to be alone FCG You don't have to be on your own
[Chorus]
DmCG And I'm not gonna take it back DmCG And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that DmCG You're the target that I'm aiming at FCG But I'm nothing on my own FCG Got to get that message home
[Instrumental]
| Dm | C | G | 2x
[Chorus]
DmCG And I'm not gonna stand and wait DmCG Not gonna leave it until it's much too late DmCG On a platform I'm gonna stand and say FCG That I'm nothing on my own FCG That I love you, please come home
[Instrumental]
| F | C | G | Am | 2x ---- These are quick and quiet
[Outro]
FCGAm My song is love, is love unknown FCGC And I've got to get that message home
I like to play the C's like this on the chorus.. E | ---3-- B | ---3-- G | ------ D | ---2-- A | ---3-- E | ------ makes it easier to switch to the G's But the original position works too!
