Thanks to Zachary (1st version of the tab) for providing the template... hope he doesn't mind.

Guitar's in standard tuning... a rarity for Coldplay, I must say.  Still some
different chords though...I'm giving them semi-standard names because I have no
clue what they are really called.

The Chords:

Verse 1:

B             B*
From the very start, it

G#*    (G#*add5)
Came a-part and,

B*             B*     Ab*
Broke up into pieces and...

F      B                   B*
There's a chance I could have missed it,

G#*      (G#*add5)
It could risked it,

(F) B               B*      Ab*
But I put myself into your hands,

                       B    
 Cos you're not just anyone,
                            
                        Ab* 
 You're a ladder to the sun, 
                             
                       B        
 Oh, You're not just anyone,    
                            
                       Ab*  
 You're a ladder to the sun.

Verse 2:

B             B*
I could run my courses and ah,

G#*    (G#*add5)
Opposing forces and ah,

B               B*      Ab*
Men are just mortals, and...

B                               B*
Oh If you want me then you can have me,

      G#*           (G#*add5)
C'mon take me, oh baby grab me,

B                               B*   Ab*
Cos If you want me then you can have me,

                       B
 Cos you're not just anyone,

                        Ab*
 You're a ladder to the sun,

                       B
 Oh You're not just anyone,

                        Ab*
 You're my ladder to the sun.



E                
Oh now boy, what you may not turn?

F
You set a course and she couldn't run,

E                                   (slide up to B again.)
Oh now boy what you may not turn...

(1st instrumental -- listen to the song for timing)   B   B*  B   B* 


Verse 3:

           E              
I had it all and I risked it,

     C#m     F
And it could risk it,

          E                            C#m   F
I had it all and, and I risked it all,

                  B
Then I risked it all.


( 2nd instrumental -- listen to the song to get the timing right -- alternates
between  B  and   G#* )

                B
And I risked it all,

              B*
A ladder to the,

                Ab*
A ladder to the sun,

          (G#*add5)    
A ladder to the,

                 B
A ladder to the sun,

             B*
A ladder to the,

                Ab*
A ladder to the sun,

                               B 
I had it all and I risked it all,

              B*
A ladder to the,

                Ab*
A ladder to the sun,

           (G#*add5)
A ladder to the,

                B
A ladder to the sun,

             B*
A ladder to the,

                 Ab*
A ladder to the sun,

                             E   B   Fmaj [note, to make this transition easier,
                                  use (top to bottom) 024422 as your "B" chord.]

I had it all and I risk it all,

                 E   
And I risked it all,

 B        F        E
Ohh, and I risked it all,

         B
I had it all,

    F         E
and I risked it all,

   B         F...          
Ohh, and I risked it all...

               B (strum entire chord slower)
A ladder to the sun.
