This is what Chris Martin plays on this Youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkMGf2_NKvs

Tune up the high E-string to F, then play:
   Dm   Bb   F    Fsus C/G
F--0----0----0----0----x---|
B-10----6----1----1----8---|
G-10----7----2----0----9---|
D-12----8----3----3----10--|
A-12----8----3----3----10--|
E--x----x----x----x----x---|

Notes:
This is an edited version of Ver4, I fixed the mistakes. Check out my Youtube 
covers http://www.youtube.com/user/joshyboy152.

The song is in 4/4 time. All chords are played for a bar. Except whenever an Fsus chord
played and F chords is played for 2 beats then play Fsus for 2 beats.

Listen to the song in the Video to find out the strumming-pattern, it's pretty easy.

The chords are like bar chords except you use your thumb for the 6 string in this case
doesn't use his thumb or fret the high e string.

Heads on a science apart.

Pulling the puzzles apart.

Questions of science, science and progress

Don't speak as loud as my heart.

And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
          Fsus
Oh and I rush to the start.
Dm           Bb               F
Runnin' in circles, Chasin' tails

Comin' back as we are
