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.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I couldnt find a tab I liked for this song as they all sounded a bit out or used a capo, which made the chords a bit too simple, so I made up my own. This is my first proper tab so let me know what you think!
C#m* C#mB Love; I hope we get old, F#m(11) E I hope we can find a way of seeing it all. C#mB Love; I hope we can be, F#m(11) E6EE6 I hope I can find a way of letting you see

-NOTES-
-Chords- The chords might look tricky but they're not too bad with a bit of practice. Feel free to simplify them, I tried to make them accurate and not relative to a capo or anything so people on other instruments can use them.
I know the F#m(11) and Asus4 chords arent named correctly, those are the closest looking chords I could find. if you know the proper names please make a correction.
The C#m* is a variation of the C#m, and not vital, you can treat it as an E6 and just hit the top strings to get the right effect, or completely ignore it.
You may also wish to play variations of the B and E chords, as I think that might be the case in the song.
-Strumming- I haven't a clue, Im very bad at it. So you'll have to figure it out im afriad.
Take note that sometimes the low strings are hit first before the rest of the chord is struck.
At the end of the chorus, slide the B down to A and hammer from the Asus2 back to the A.
-The piano bit- You can pick this out of the chords and it sounds quite good, as follows-
I'm sure you can figure the rest out for yourself. Just play with the chords and change finger positions to make it sound right as you can see I've had to do above.
-Chorus- Im pretty sure I've got this wrong, the F#m fits but I think it should actually be a funny variation of the A chord. Please let me know what it is if you find it! The Asus4 and Amaj7 I'm not really 100% about either...
