[Verse 1] You're in control, is there anywhere you wanna go You're in control, is there anything you wanna know The future's for discovering The space in which we're travelling
[Chorus] From the top of the first page To the end of the last day From the start in your own way You just want…somebody listening to what you say It doesn't matter who you are
[Verse 2] Under the surface trying to break through Deciphering the codes in you I need a compass, draw me a map I'm on the top, I can't get back Woah, woah
[Chorus] The first line of the first page To the end of the last place you were looking From the start in your own way You just want…somebody listening to what you say It doesn't matter who you are It doesn't matter who you are
[Bridge] Ooh You just want…somebody listening to what you say You just want…somebody listening to what you say It doesn't matter who you are It doesn't matter who you are
[Outro] Is there anybody out there who Is lost and hurt and lonely too Are they bleeding all your colours into one And if you come undone as if you'd been run through Some catapult, it fired you You wonder if your chance'll ever come Well, if you're stuck in square one

What If
[Verse 1] What if there was no light Nothing wrong, nothing right What if there was no time And no reason or rhyme
[Pre-Chorus] What if you should decide That you don't want me there by your side That you don't want me there in your life
[Verse 2] What if I got it wrong And no poem or song Could put right what I got wrong Or make you feel I belong
[Pre-Chorus] And what if you should decide That you don't want me there by your side That you don't want me there in your life
[Chorus] Ooh, that's right Let's take a breath, jump over the side Ooh, that's right How can you know it if you don't even try Ooh, that's right
[Verse 3] Every step that you take Could be your biggest mistake It could bend or it could break But that's the risk that you take
[Pre-Chorus] And what if you should decide That you don't want me there in your life That you don't want me there by your side
[Chorus] Ooh, that's right Let's take a breath, jump over the side Ooh, that's right How can you know it when you don't even try Ooh, that's right
[Outro] Oh, ooh, that's right Let's take a breath, jump over the side Ooh, that's right You know that darkness always turns into light Ooh, that's right

White Shadows
[Verse 1] When I was a young boy, I tried to listen And I wanna feel like that Little white shadows, blink and miss them Part of a system, I am
[Verse 2] If you ever feel like something's missing Things you'll never understand Little white shadows sparkle and glisten Part of a system, a plan
[Pre-Chorus] All this noise, I'm waking up All this space I'm taking up All this sound is breaking up Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus] Maybe you'll get what you wanted Maybe you'll stumble upon it Everything you ever wanted In a permanent state Maybe you'll know when you see it Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it And when you find it, you'll keep it In a permanent state, a permanent state
[Verse 3] When I was a young boy, I tried to listen Don't you wanna feel like that You're part of the human race, all of the stars and the outer space A part of the system, a plan
[Pre-Chorus] All this noise, I'm waking up All this space I'm taking up I cannot hear, you're breaking up Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus] Maybe you'll get what you wanted Maybe you'll stumble upon it Everything you ever wanted In a permanent state Maybe you'll know when you see it Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it And when you find it, you'll keep it In a permanent state, a permanent state
[Outro] Swimming on a sea of faces, tide of the human races Oh, an answer now is what I need… I see it in a new sun rising, see it break on your horizon Oh, come on love, stay with me…

Fix You
[Verse 1: Chris Martin] When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streamin' down your face When you lose somethin' you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse
[Chorus: Chris Martin with Will Champion] Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
[Verse 2: Chris Martin] And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try, you'll never know Just what you're worth
[Chorus: Chris Martin with Will Champion] Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
[Interlude]
[Bridge: Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman & Will Champion] Tears stream down your face When you lose somethin' you cannot replace Tears stream down your face, and I... Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face, and I...
[Chorus: Chris Martin] Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you

Talk
[Verse 1] Oh brother, I can't, I can't get through I've been tryin' hard to reach you 'cause I don't know what to do Oh brother, I can't believe it's true I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you Oh, I wanna talk to you
[Chorus] You could take a picture of somethin' you see In the future, where will I be You could climb a ladder up to the sun Or write a song nobody had sung Or do somethin' that's never been done
[Verse 2] Are you lost or incomplete Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missin' piece Tell me how you feel Well, I feel like they're talkin' in a language I don't speak And they're talkin' it to me
[Chorus] So you take a picture of somethin' you see In the future, where will I be You could climb a ladder up to the sun Or write a song nobody had sung Or do somethin' that's never been done Do somethin' that's never been done
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro] So, you don't know where you're goin' and you wanna talk And you feel like you're goin' where you've been before You'll tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored And nothin's really makin' any sense at all Let's talk, let's talk Let's talk, let's talk (U-uh)

X&Y
[Verse 1] Trying hard to speak and fighting with my weak hand Driven to distraction, it's all part of the plan When something is broken and you try to fix it Trying to repair it any way you can
[Verse 2] I dive in at the deep end, you become my best friend I wanna love you, but I don't know if I can I know something is broken, and I'm tryin' to fix it Trying to repair it any way I can
[Chorus] You and me are floating on a tidal wave Together You and me are drifting into outer space You and me are floating on a tidal wave Together You and me are drifting into outer space And singing
[Verse 1] How long before I get in Before it starts, before I begin How long before you decide Before I know what it feels like Where to, where do I go If you never try, then you'll never know How long do I have to climb Up on the side of this mountain of mine
[Verse 2] Look up, I look up at night Planets are moving at the speed of light Climb up, up in the trees Every chance that you get Is a chance you seize How long am I gonna stand With my head stuck under the sand I'll start before I can stop Before I see things the right way up
[Pre-Chorus] All that noise, and all that sound All those places I got found (Got found)
[Chorus] And birds go flyin' at the speed of sound To show you how it all began Birds came flyin' from the underground If you could see it, then you'd understand
[Verse 3] Ideas that you'll never find All the inventors could never design The buildings that you put up Japan and China all lit up The sign that I couldn't read Or a light that I couldn't see Some things you have to believe But others are puzzles, puzzling me
[Pre-Chorus] All that noise, and all that sound All those places I got found
[Chorus] And birds go flyin' at the speed of sound To show you how it all began Birds came flyin' from the underground If you could see it, then you'd understand Oh, when you see it, then you'll understand
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge] All those signs, I knew what they meant Some things you can invent Some get made, and some get sent Ooh-ooh
[Chorus] Birds go flyin' at the speed of sound To show you how it all began Birds came flyin' from the underground If you could see it, then you'd understand Oh, when you see it, then you'll understand

A Message
[Verse 1] My song is love Love to the loveless shown And it goes on You don't have to be alone
[Verse 2] Your heavy heart Is made of stone And it's so hard to see you clearly You don't have to be on your own You don't have to be on your own
[Chorus] And I'm not gonna take it back And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that You're the target that I'm aiming at Can I get that message home
[Verse 3] My song is love My song is love unknown But I'm on fire for you, clearly You don't have to be alone You don't have to be on your own
[Chorus] And I'm not gonna take it back And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that You're the target that I'm aiming at And I'm nothing on my own Got to get that message home

[Outro] My song is love, is love unknown And I've got to get that message home

Low
[Verse 1] You see the world in black and white No colour or light You think you'll never get it right But you're wrong, you might The sky could fall, could fall on me The parting of the seas (The seas, the seas, the seas) But you mean more, mean more to me (To me, to me, to me) Than any colour I can see
[Chorus] All you ever wanted was love, but you never looked hard enough It's never gonna give itself up All you ever wanted to be, livin' in perfect symmetry Nothin' is as down or up as us As us
[Verse 2] You see the world in black and white Not painted right You see no meaning to your life You should try You should try
[Chorus] And all you ever wanted was love, but you never looked hard enough It's never gonna give itself up And all you ever wanted to be, livin' in perfect symmetry Nothin' is as down or up as us
[Bridge] And don't you wanna see it come soon Floatin' in a big white balloon Or given on your own silver spoon Don't you wanna see it come down There for throwin' your arms around And say, "You're not a moment too soon"
[Outro] 'Cause I feel low 'Cause I feel low, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Yeah, I feel low, oh no Oh-oh Oh-oh, 'cause I feel low 'Cause I feel low, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh But I feel low, oh no Oh-oh

The Hardest Part
[Verse 1] And the hardest part was letting go, not taking part Was the hardest part And the strangest thing was waiting for that bell to ring It was the strangest start
[Chorus 1] I could feel it go down Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth Silver lining the clouds Oh, and I I wish that I could work it out
[Verse 2] And the hardest part was letting go, not taking part You really broke my heart, oh And I tried to sing, but I couldn't think of anything And that was the hardest part, oh, oh
[Chorus 2] I can feel it go down You left the sweetest taste in my mouth Your silver lining the clouds Oh, and I Oh and I, I wonder what it's all about I wonder what it's all about
[Outro] Everything I know is wrong Everything I do, it just comes undone And everything is torn apart Oh, and that's the hardest part, that's the hardest part Yeah, that's the hardest part, that's the hardest part
11.
Swallowed in the Sea
[Verse 1] You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me And that's what made me see where I was going wrong You put me on a shelf and kept me for yourself I can only blame myself, you can only blame me
[Chorus 1] And I could write a song a hundred miles long Well, that's where I belong, and you belong with me And I could write it down or spread it all around Get lost and then get found, or swallowed in the sea
[Verse 2] You put me on a line and hung me out to dry And darling, that's when I decided to go see You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes Made me realize what I could not see
[Chorus 2] And I could write a book, the one they'll say that shook The world and then it took, it took it back from me And I could write it down or spread it all around Get lost and then get found, and you'll come back to me Not swallowed in the sea
[Interlude] (Ooh, ah) (Ooh, ah-ah-ah)
[Chorus 3] And I could write a song a hundred miles long Well, that's where I belong, and you belong with me The streets you're walking on, a thousand houses long Well, that's where I belong, and you belong with me
[Chorus 4] Oh, what good is it to live with nothing left to give Forget, but not forgive, not loving all you see All the streets you're walking on, a thousand houses long Well, that's where I belong, and you belong with me Not swallowed in the sea
[Outro] You belong with me, not swallowed in the sea Yeah, you belong with me, not swallowed in the sea

Twisted Logic
[Verse 1] Sunlight opened up my eyes To see for the first time, it opened them up And tonight, rivers will run dry Not for the first time, rivers will run
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2] Hundreds of years in the future There could be computers lookin' for life on Earth Don't fight for the wrong side Say what you feel like, say how you feel
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus] You'll go backwards, but then You'll go forwards again You'll go backwards, but then You'll go
[Verse 3] Created, then drilled and invaded If somebody made it, someone will mess it up And you are not wrong to Ask, "Who does this belong to " It belongs to all of us
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus] You'll go backwards, but then You'll go forwards again You'll go backwards, but then You'll go forwards You'll go backwards, but then You'll go forwards again You'll go backwards, but then You'll go forwards
