Coldplay - Flags

[intro] x4
G  G  Cadd9  D

[verse 1]
 G              Cadd9           D
Talk amongst the skeletons this morning
 G              Cadd9           D
Aside from all the medicine and health
   Em                    C      G                    D
If you could do it all again, would you do it all the same?
     Em                      G                D
Is there something that you'd tell your former self?
           G                      Cadd9          D
There were those that wished they'd spun upon a jukebox
          G               Cadd9          D
There were pirates who had never seen the sea
    Em                C         G                D
But the one recurring theme, the one recurring dream they had
   Em             G           D
Was to be whatever they wanted to be

[chorus]
     G           D
To be Pyotr Tchaikovsky
     G         Cadd9     D
To be free like everyone else
         G      Cadd9      D
There will be no flags to warn me
      Em7      Cadd9       D
'Cause I just want to be myself

[verse 2]
    G          Cadd9        D
You'll let telephone in by a region
        G      Cadd9              D
Is there any advice that you could give?
    Em7                      C           C           Em
When you know you're not like them, Do you know La Varsovienne?
     Em                     Em                    D
I know that I am living, but can you show me how to live

[chorus]
       G          D
And the Holy Roman Army
         G             Cadd9       D
Said your heart beats like everyone else
         G       Cadd9      D
You don't need no flags to tell you who you are
  Em7    Cadd9      D      G
I just want to be myself

[chorus]
          G              D
There's an aura that surrounds me
         G         Cadd9     D
There's a different kind of wealth
      G         Cadd9      D
And I don't need flags to know you're really something
   G      Cadd9        D
And I just love you for yourself
   G      Cadd9        D
Oh, I just love you for yourself
