When you (F)try your best but you (Am)don’t suc ceed,
when you (F)get what you want but (Am)not what you need,
when you (F)feel so tired but (Am)you can’t sleep,
stuck in re (F)verse.
And the (F)tears come stream ing (Am)down your face,
when you (F)lose some thing you (Am)can’t re place,
when you (F)love some one but it (Am)goes to waste,
(C)could it be (F)worse?
Lights (F)will (C)guide
you home
and (F)ig (C)nite
your bones
and I (F)will (C)try
to fix you.
This page shows “Fix You” by Coldplay in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 70 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
