A A Em Em
how long before I get in
D D
before it starts, before I begin
A A Em Em
how long before you decide
D D
before I know what it feels like
A A Em Em
where to, where do I go
D D
if you never tried then you'll never know
A A Em Em
how long do I have to climb
D D
up on this side of this mountain of mine

A A Em Em D D A A Em Em D D

A A Em Em
look up, I look up at night
D D
planets are moving at the speed of light
A A Em Em
come up, up in the trees
D D
every chance that you get is a chance you seize
A A Em Em
how long am I can stand
D D
with my head stuck under the sand
A A Em Em
I'll start before I can stop
D D
or before I see things the right way up

G G A A Bm Bm
all that noise, all that sound
G G A A Bm Bm
all those places that i got found



CHORUS:
G G Bm Bm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
D D G G
to show how it all began
G G Bm Bm
birds come flying from the underground
F#m F#m G G
if you could see it then you'd understand

A A Em Em D D A A Em Em D D

A A Em Em
ideas that you'll never find
D D
all the inventors could never design
A A Em Em
the buildings that you put up
D D
Japan and China all lit up
A A Em Em
the sign that I couldn't read
D D
all the light that I couldn't see
A A Em Em
somethings you have to believe
D D
but others are puzzles, puzzling me

G G A A Bm Bm
all that noise, all that sound
G G A A Bm Bm
all those places that i got found



CHORUS

D D

G G A A Bm Bm
all those signs I knew what they meant
Ddim Ddim
something you can't invent
G G A A Bm Bm
Some get made, and some get sent
Ddim Ddim
ooh


CHORUS

F#m F#m G G
Oh when you see it then you'll understand

About this song: Speed Of Sound

"Speed of Sound" is a song by English alternative rock band Coldplay. It was written by all members of the band for their third album, X&Y. Built around a piano riff, the song builds into a huge, synthesizer-heavy chorus. It was released on 23 May 2005 by Parlophone Records as the lead single from the album. Coldplay vocalist Chris Martin admitted that the song was developed after the band had listened to English alternative rock singer Kate Bush.
