This is the simplest way to play it (and the chords Toby uses in the song). Figured it 
out by piano so no capo. Enjoy!
*You can add a Bb at the end of each verse after the Gm*
**You can also go from the Fm to a quick Abm to Bb. (This actually sounds the best)**

Cm Bb Fm Gm Abm

CmThis (x3101x@1)song sounds dramatic
Bbbut (x1333x@1)I'm bad at writing words.
FmIf (133111@1)you don't speak English,
Gmthis (355333@1)probably sounds pretty good.

CmYou'd (x3101x@1)probably think I'm singing
Bbbout (x1333x@1)some pretty serious stuff.
FmBut (133111@1)in reality, I'm singing 'bout
Gmthe (355333@1)lack of stuff

Cm (x3101x@1)i'm singing 'bout. This part's intense.
BbAnd (x1333x@1)emotional.
FmAs (133111@1)long as
Gmyou (355333@1)don't understand it.

CmYour (x3101x@1)foreign grandma
Bbwould (x1333x@1)love this song.
FmPlease (133111@1)send it to her,
Gmand (355333@1)she'll probably tell her

Cmforeign (x3101x@1)friends about the song her
Bbgrandson (x1333x@1)or daughter sent her today.
FmThis (133111@1)song might hit the charts in her country
Gmif (355333@1)parts sounded like

CmCooooldplayyyyyyy (x3101x@1)Bb... (x1333x@1)FmIf (133111@1)the chorus sounds like
GmColdplllayyyy (355333@1)
CmThen (x3101x@1)I put some
Bb (x1333x@1)'La-La-La's in there.
FmLa (133111@1)la la la la,
Gm (355333@1)          (Bb)
la la la la la la la (Coldplay)

CmHopefully (x3101x@1)your foreign grandma
Bblistens (x1333x@1)to this song everyday.
FmAnd (133111@1)if she asks you to
Gmtranslate (355333@1)the lyrics, here's what you say:

Cm"A (x3101x@1)perfect translation
Bbdoes (x1333x@1)not exist.
FmWell, (133111@1)at least,
Gmnot (355333@1)in your language.

CmBut (x3101x@1)if you must know,
Bbwell, (x1333x@1)picture this:
FmFifty (133111@1)billion rainbows,
Gmand (355333@1)the sun is setting, and the

Cm (x3101x@1)moon is setting, also,
Bband (x1333x@1)you're there in a gazebo.
FmAnd (133111@1)then God descends from heaven
Gmand (355333@1)He gives you a million dollars.

CmTake (x3101x@1)that feelinggggg,
Bband (x1333x@1)put it into a song.
FmI (133111@1)could translaaaaaate word by word,
Gmbut (355333@1)that'd take too long.

CmAnd (x3101x@1)I've got stuff to do grandma.
BbI (x1333x@1)don't have time for this.
FmYou've (133111@1)gotta trust me grandma,
Gm (355333@1)                                   (Bb)
