Ghost Story - Coldplay

I wanted a simpler way to play this song, the current version 2 works fine a(except for 
maybe the riff in
 my opinion; and maybe a few lyrics :P ) I just wanted something I could play in standard tuning. 
Please rate and comment!

Opening riff: play the chords and just use your pinky or index finger or whatever to hit 
the riff notes, or play in with an added guitar part.

Intro- riff x2
                 D
Maybe I'm just a ghost
                  C
Disappear when anybody's close
                        G
Go through you when you try to hold
               D
Try to hold me near

                 D
Maybe I'm just a ghost
                  C
Emptied by 'em, anybody knows
                 G
Maybe I'm on the ropes
                D
Or I'm not even here


G    D
Yeaaah


D                   C                 G
Every time I try to walk through walls
                D
More walls appear
                            C           G)
What's the point of feeling love for you
                           D
When you don't believe I'm here?
                              C              G
What's the point of trying to raise your voice
               D
If no one ever hears?
                    C            G
Every time I try to pull you close
            D
You disappear


-Opening riff-

            D
Maybe I'm a ghost
                    C
Just a whisper in a puff of smoke
             G
A secret that nobody knows
                  D
No one won't ever hear

               D
Or maybe I'm a ghost
             C
Specter on a wrong course
                    G
Thorn without out a rose
                 D
Something people fear


D    G
Yeaaah


D                          C                  G
And every time I thought I walked through walls
                D
It's all become clear
                            C          G
What's the point in feeling love for you
                           D
When you don't believe I'm here?
                            C        G
What's the point of saying 'Rescue me! '
               D
If no one ever hears?
                    C            G
Every time I try to pull you close
            D
You disappear
                    C            G
Every time I try to pull you close
            D
You disappear
