CLOCKS (ACOUSTIC) - Coldplay
----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Rachael Morgan

This song sounds awesome on acoustic guitar. I tabbed this by listening to
their acoustic track, so although it sounds a lot higher than all the other
tabs out there, this is how they play it acoustically. However, I am not
sure about the chords they use on 2nd guitar, so I just included ones that
sound good and back up the pickings. If I'm wrong, please do email me, I'd like to know too! Enjoy!

VERSE 2
Confusion never stops,
closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna)
Come back and take you home,
I could not stop, that you now know
Come out upon my seas,
curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure,
or am I part of the disease (singing)
