[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
[Chorus: Chris Martin, Chris Martin & Will Champion]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Will Champion]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Breakdown: Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman & Will Champion]
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face, and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face, and I
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
[Chorus: Chris Martin, Chris Martin & Will Champion]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Will Champion]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Breakdown: Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman & Will Champion]
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face, and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face, and I
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
