Verse 1:
E           Bsus4 B       E
Scared of losing all the time
     Bsus4   B    E
He wrote it in a letter
   Bsus4   B       E     Bsus4  B
He was a friend of mine
E        Bsus4      B        E
He heard you could see your future
   Bsus4   B        E
Inside a glass of water
    Bsus4   B         E    Bsus4  B
The ripples and the rhymes
-xB-x        A                             B
And he asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?'

Interlude -x2-: E - Bsus4 - B

Verse 2:
     E      Bsus4    B     E
Oh that is just the way it was,
 Bsus4   B        E
Nothing could be better,
     Bsus4  B    E   Bsus4  B
and nothing ever was.
     E        Bsus4  B        E
Oh, they say you can see your future
   Bsus4   B        E
inside a glass of water.
    Bsus4   B         E     Bsus4  B
The riddles and the rhymes
A                              B
   Will I see heaven in mine?
A 
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-I

Chorus 1:
 E   Abm  Dbm  A       E   Abm  Dbm  A
Son,            don't ask,
         E       Abm      Dbm   A      E      Abm  Dbm  A
Neither how full    nor empty is your glass
 E   Abm  Dbm   A      E   Abm  Dbm  A
Cling         to the mast
             E      Abm  Dbm    A              Bsus4  A
Spend your whole life    living in your past
       A 
Going nowhere fast

Interlude -x4-: E - Bsus4 - B

Verse 3:
E       Bsus4  B    E
So he wrote it on a wall
     Bsus4 B      E        Bsus4 B      E    Bsus4  B
The hollow-est of halos is no  halo at all
E    Bsus4  B         E
Televisions selling plastic
Bsus4 B       E         Bsus4   B        E    Bsus4  B
Figurines of leaders saying nothing at all
           A
And we chimed, stars in heaven align
A 
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-I

Chorus 2:
 E   Abm  Dbm  A       E   Abm  Dbm  A
Son,            don't ask,
         E       Abm      Dbm   A      E      Abm  Dbm  A
Neither how full    nor empty is your glass
 E   Abm  Dbm   A      E   Abm  Dbm  A
Cling         to the mast
             E      Abm  Dbm    A              Bsus4  A
Spend your whole life    living in your past
       A 
Going nowhere fast

Glasses of water.

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.
