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)**

C5
This song sounds dramatic
Bb5
but I'm bad at writing words.
F5
If you don't speak English,
G5
this probably sounds pretty good.

C5
You'd probably think I'm singing
Bb5
bout some pretty serious stuff.
F5
But in reality, I'm singing 'bout
G5
the lack of stuff

C5
 i'm singing 'bout. This part's intense.
Bb5
And emotional.
F5
As long as
G5
you don't understand it.

C5
Your foreign grandma
Bb5
would love this song.
F5
Please send it to her,
G5
and she'll probably tell her

C5
foreign friends about the song her
Bb5
grandson or daughter sent her today.
F5
This song might hit the charts in her country
G5
if parts sounded like

C5
Cooooldplayyyyyyy
Bb5
...
F5
If the chorus sounds like
G5
Coldplllayyyy

C5
Then I put some
Bb5
 'La-La-La's in there.
F5
La la la la la,
G5            ( Bb5 )
la la la la la la la (Coldplay)

C5
Hopefully your foreign grandma
Bb5
listens to this song everyday.
F5
And if she asks you to
G5
translate the lyrics, here's what you say:

C5
"A perfect translation
Bb5
does not exist.
F5
Well, at least,
G5
not in your language.

C5
But if you must know,
Bb5
well, picture this:
F5
Fifty billion rainbows,
G5
and the sun is setting, and the

C5
 moon is setting, also,
Bb5
and you're there in a gazebo.
F5
And then God descends from heaven
G5
and He gives you a million dollars.

C5
Take that feelinggggg,
Bb5
and put it into a song.
F5
I could translaaaaaate word by word,
G5
but that'd take too long.

C5
And I've got stuff to do grandma.
Bb5
I don't have time for this.
F5
You've gotta trust me grandma,
G5                                     ( Bb5 )
this freakin' song is brillian......t."
