THE SCIENTIST (ACOUSTIC) - COLDPLAY
An incredibly simple but fantastic song to play on an acoustic guitar!
There seems to be a lot of confusion about the key of the song.
It does state below that a capo is required, but for those that don't have a capo,
I have taken the liberty of putting a set of chords on which do not require a capo
and will allow you to play along with the CD.
EDIT (08/05/2020) - it's been a long time since I originally submitted this and I must say it will NOT let
you play along to the song. The tuning of the song is very unique. I think it's tuned in 4ths
(which basically means the high b and e strings become c and f. These strings are then played as open
throughout). But even then it still doesn't quite sound right.
Oh well, I'm happy with my version as an acoustic...

V1: Come up to meet you,
tell you I'm so----orry, you
don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I
ne----ed you, tell you I'll set
you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me
your qu----estions, oh, let's go
back to the start
Running in circles, coming in
ta----ils, heads are a science
apart
C1: Nobody said it was
easy, it's such a shame
for us to part
Nobody said it was easy,
no one ever said it would be
this hard
Oh, take me back to the start
Int1: |(D) | G Gadd9| D | D Dmaj7 |

V2: I was just guessing
at numbers and fi----igures,
pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science
and progress, do not speak
as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back
and ha-----aunt me, oh and I
rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing
ta----ils, coming back as we are
C2: Nobody said it was
easy, oh, it's such a
shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy,
no one ever said it would be so
hard
I'm going back to the start
Int2: |(D) | G | D | D |
