Lyrics Lost!

The song speaks about not losing hope and seeing the positive side, even during hard times. It was inspired by the emotional turmoil that lead vocalist Chris Martin went through after the breakup of his marriage.

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I would cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
E ----------7--- -----------5------

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come a bigger one

And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the firing stops
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
E ----------7--- -----------5------

E ---------10--12-12-12-------------7---10-10-10-------
B --------------------------8-7-7-7------------------7-

Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
C G D (with chorus riff) x2
