Coldplay - Speed Of Sound Chords

[intro] x2
A  Em  G  D

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

[bridge] x2
A  Em  G  D

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

[pre-chorus]
G           A                   Bm
   all that noise, all that sound
G             A                Bm
  all those places that i got found

[chorus]
    G                      Bm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
   D                 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

[instrumental]
A  Em  G  D

[verse]
  A                       Em
ideas that you'll never find
                                  D
all the inventors could never design
    A                       Em
the buildings that you put up
                          D
Japan and China all lit up
    A                       Em
the sign that I couldn't read
                                D
all the light that I couldn't see
    A                         Em
somethings you have to believe
                                   D
but others are puzzles, puzzling me

[pre-chorus]
G           A                   Bm
   all that noise, all that sound
G             A                Bm
  all those places that i got found

[chorus]
    G                      Bm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
   D                 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
            F#m                    G D
oh when you see it you'd understand

[bridge]
G               A                       Bm
 all those signs   I knew what they meant
              E
something you can't invent
G              A                  Bm
 Some get made,  and some get sent
 E
ooh

[chorus]
    G                      Bm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
   D                 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

[outro]
            F#m                     G
Oh when you see it then you'll understand
