Coldplay - Glass of water
Tabbed by Deluke
Hey guys! I went through some of the tabs online and found that none of them
actually displayed the sound of the song properly. So i did my own one and there you go!
Don't get afraid of the chords. They're basically only little variations of D.
Listen to the song to get a feeling for the strumming especially in the Verses
where it's the same over and over again.
I tried to match the Chords to the words the best i could. It seems very untidy at
first but makes it much easier to play and sing along.
Have fun!

=== VERSE 1 ===
Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
Scared of losin' all the time
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
He wrote it in a letter,
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
he was a friend of mine
Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
He heard you could see your future
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
Inside a glass of water
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj
with ripples and the lines
Gsus2 Aadd9
And he asked, "Will I see heaven in mine?"
=== FILL ===
Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj (2x)
=== VERSE 2 ===
Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
That is just the way it was
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
Nothing could be better
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj
and nothing ever was
Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
Oh, they say you can see your future
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
Inside a glass of water,
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj
the riddles and the rhymes
Gsus2 Aadd9
"Will I see heaven in mine?"
=== Chorus ===
D F#m Bm G
son,
D F#m Bm G
don't ask
D F#m Bm G D F#m Bm G
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
D F#m Bm G
Cling
D F#m Bm G
to the mast
D F#m Bm G G E5 G
Spend your whole life living in the past
A
Going nowhere fast
=== FILL ===
Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj (2x)
=== VERSE 3 ===
Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
So he wrote it on a wall
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
The hollowest of halos
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
is no halo at all
Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
Tele - visions selling plastic figurines of leaders
Dsus2 D7Maj Dsus4-D
Saying nothing at all
Gsus2 Aadd9
And you chime, stars in heaven align
=== Chorus ===
D F#m Bm G
son,
D F#m Bm G
don't ask
D F#m Bm G D F#m Bm G
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
D F#m Bm G
Cling
D F#m Bm G
to the mast
D F#m Bm G G E5 G
Spend your whole life living in the past
A
Going nowhere fast
=== BRIDGE === (Slow strumming, Half tempo)
G G F#m Bm
