This made me so emotional. This song came out when someone I love was addicted and had tried several times to recover, and we were all so very worried. Thank God, those days are behind us now for over 13 years. He is such a wonderful person, and I am so grateful that he was given back to us. I am definitely working on this one. Thanks Dave. It's a great tutorial. I love these throw back Thursdays.

Cleanest and clearest guitar tutorial I've seen in a very long time. Excellent work, my friend! Keep it up!

[reginaldosilva]

Congratulations man, that was the best lesson of FIX YOU I've ever seen. THANK YOU

[orianapellegrini]

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?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

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

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

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

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

We at Cincinnati children’s hospital with my grandson. My daughter wanted me to learn this song for him. He’s 5- so I found this video. I had never heard of cold play till today. He loves them. Thanks so much.

Was hunting a different song to learn “tomorrow “ (being 11pm)
Came across this one and better believe I grabbed guitar and just played for over an hour. Haha
I love that you smile a lot when you play.
So fun!
