(verse 1)
[D] My song is [F#m]love[a]
[D] Love to the [F#m]lover's sh[a]one
[D] And it goes [F#m]on[a]
You don't [G]have to [F#m]be alo[a]ne
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/coldplay/a_message_crd_ver_4.html )
(verse 2)
[D] Your heavy h[F#m]eart[a]
[D] Is made of [F#m]stone[a] [G]
[D] And it's so [F#m]hard to s[a]ee, clearly
You don't [G]have to be [F#m]on your ow[a]n
You don't [G]have to be [F#m]on your own[a]
(chorus 1)
[E] And I'm not going to [D]take it b[a]ack
[E] well I'm not going to say I d[D]on't mean that[a]
[E] You're the target that I'm a[D]iming at[a]
And I [G]get that [F#m]message ho[a]me
(verse 3)
My song is love
My song is love, I know
And I'm on fire for you, clearly
You don't have to be alone
You don't have to be on your own
(chorus 2)
And I'm not going to take it back
well I'm not going to say I don't mean that
You're the target that I'm aiming at
But I'm nothing on my own
Got to get that message home
(solo) (over chorus chords)
(chorus 3)
and im not gonna stand and wait
not gonna kneel there until its much to late
on a platform im gonna stand and say
that I'm nothing on my own
and I love you please come home
(outro)
[G]my song is [F#m]love
[a]is love I[G] know
and I've [G]got to g[F#m]et that [a]message [D]home
