The Planets Bend Between Us by Snow Patrol
The Planets Bend Between Us
Capo 2
Intro:
G/B Asus2 C x2
G/B Asus2 Cmaj7
G/B Asus2 C
G/B Asus2 C
The winters mark the earth
G/B Asus2 C
It's floored with frozen glass
G/B Asus2 Cmaj7
They slip into my arms
G/B Asus2 C
And you quickly caress yourself
G/B Asus2 C
You freeze and speech 'bove us
G/B Asus2 C
Seem to hold your words aloft
G/B Asus2 Cmaj7
I want the smoky of the clouds of laughter
G/B Asus2 C
To swim above me forevermore
Chorus:
G Am Fmaj7
I will race you to the water side
G Am Fmaj7
And from the edge of Ireland shout out
G Am Fmaj7
So they could hear it in America
G G/B Fmaj7
It's all for you
G/B Asus2 C
The shells crack under our shoes
G/B Asus2 C
Like punctuation points
G/B Asus2 Cmaj7
The planets bend between us
G/B Asus2 C
A hundred million suns and stars
G Am C
In seafull then the silence
G Am C
Before you said those words
G Am Cmaj7
And I'll even end the dark place
G Am C
I could see how good you are
Chorus:
G Am Fmaj7
I will race you to the water side
G Am Fmaj7
And from the edge of Ireland shout out
G Am Fmaj7
So they could hear it in America
G Am Fmaj7
It's all for you
It's all for you
It's all for you
It's all for you
It's all for you
It's all for you

version 2
You can capo it if you like. I like capo 2 personally.
Tuning's standard.
Intro:

B|--2---2---0---0---3---3---3---3----|
E|----3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3--|
E|----------------------|

B|--2---2---0---0----3--|

Verse:
E|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------|
B|--2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
E|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
(so basically you strum the notes you played in the intro,
don't be afraid to hit the string below occasionally,
it gives it a little depth)
Chorus:
E|--3--3--3--|
A|--3--3--3--|
D|--0--0--0--|
G|--0--2--2--|
B|--2--0--3--|
E|--3--3--0--|
That progression also works for the bridge if you're working off the
'Up To Now'/radio version of the song but work out a strumming
pattern that sounds good to you. Hope it helps.
Lyrics:
The winter's marked the Earth,
It's floored with frozen glass.
You slip into my arms,
then you quickly correct yourself.
Your freezing speech bubbles
Seem to hold your words aloft.
I want the smoky clouds of laughter
to swim about me forevermore.
(chorus)
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in America;
It's all for you.
The shells crack under our shoes
like punctuation points.
The planets bend between us,
A hundred million suns and stars.
The sea filled in the silence
before you said those words.
And now even in the darkness,
I can see how happy you are.
(chorus)
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in America;
It's all for you.#

version 3
Intro and Verse:
Gary Lightbody's part, which consists of the two notes on the E and D strings being
played simultaneously and the open a string being hit right after, droning through
the whole verse:
e|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------|
D|-7---7---7---7---7----7----7---7---7----7----7----7----|
A|---0---0---0---0----0----0---0---0----0----0----0------|
E|-9---9---7---7---10---10---10--10--10---10---10---10---|
Repeat this for each line of the verse.
Nathan Connolly's part for the first verse, which comes in after a bar or so of the intro:
e|-12----------10---|
B|----10-12-10------|
G|------------------|
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|
For the first half of the second verse, Nathan plays this, before going back in to the
other part.
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|------------------9---|
D|--7-9-7-----7-9-7-----|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
Gary's part. Listen to the song for the rhythm and all that:
e|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|
D|-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5---|
A|-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5---|
E|-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7--3-3-3-3---|
Play that for each line of the chorus, right through.
Nathan's part. Again, listen for the rhythm and pattern, this might not be exact.
They're played in quick succession:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------10---|
B|--10--10--10--10---10--10--10--10---10--10--10--10--10--10--10---10-|
G|----9---9---9---9----9---9---9---9----9---9---9---9---9---9---9----9|
D|-7----------------7----------------7---------------7----------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
The winters mar the Earth
It's floor was frozen glass
You slip into my arms
And you quickly correct yourself
Your freezing speech bubbles
Seem to hold your words aloft
I want the smoky clouds of laughter
To swim about me forever more
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in America
It's all for you
The shells crack under our shoes
Like punctuation points
The planets bend between us
A hundred million suns and stars
The sea filled in this silence
Before you sank those words
And now even in the darkness
I can see how happy you are
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in a America
It's all for you
It's all for you (x5)
