Artist: Coldplay 
Song:   Fix you [04:55] 
Album:  X & Y 
Tabber: Goran Kalamiza from Bjelovar, Croatia (wes7boiler@hotmail.com) 

There are two guitars here: 

     1.Acoustic guitar (plays through whole song including the keyboard part, 
                        with capo on 1st fret) 
     2.Electric guitar (plays piano part (I saw it on the Live8 concert!), 
                        then the theme at the end of the song, and, again, I 
                        saw one short riff on the chorus, so I´ll tab it too) 

I´ve updated the chords -> there´s a Cm7 instead of Cm; You can see it below. 
Instead of keyboard and piano, play these chords (on acoustic guitar): 

(!!!with capo on 1st fret!!!)

When you try your best but you don´t succeed 

           [D#]                [Gm]           [Cm7]   [A#] 
When you get what you want but not what you need 

         [D#]              [Gm]         [Cm7]   [A#] 
When you feel so tired but you can´t sleep 

           [D#] [Gm] [Cm7]   [A#] 
Stuck in reve    -    rse 

When the tears come streaming down your face 
When you lose something you can´t replace 
When you love someone but it goes to waste 
could it be worse?

and ignite your bones 
And I will try to fix you

Theme on electric guitar - slightly distorted 
(normal tuning + high E string tuned down half a step): 
(I streched this ´cuz 11´s are difficult to read when they´re 
written together without space; it looks like there´s a bunch of 1´s.)
