One of Coldplay’s most emotionally powerful songs, “Fix You” builds from a quiet organ intro to an explosive, anthemic climax. On guitar, the simple chords let the emotion shine through.

Tip: Start very quietly with just downstrums in the first verse. Gradually add more intensity as the song builds toward the explosive chorus.

Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

 
C Em
When you try your best but you don’t succeed
C Em
When you get what you want but not what you need
C Em
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
C Em
Stuck in reverse
 

Verse 2

 
C Em
And the tears come streaming down your face
C Em
When you lose something you can’t replace
C Em
When you love someone but it goes to waste
C Em
Could it be worse
 

Chorus

 
G D C
Lights will guide you home
G D
And ignite your bones
C Em C
And I will try to fix you
