Play along at home with the lyrics:

[Verse 1: Chris Martin]

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

[Verse 2: Chris Martin]

And the tears come streamin' down your face

When you lose somethin' you can't replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Will Champion]

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

[Verse 3: Chris Martin]

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

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Will]

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

[Interlude]

[Bridge: Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman & Will Champion]

Tears stream down your face

When you lose somethin' 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...

[Chorus: Chris Martin]

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

[Intro]

Oppa is Gangnam style

Gangnam style

[Verse 1]

A lady who is warm and human during the day

A classy lady who knows how to enjoy a cup of coffee

A lady whose heart gets hot when night comes

A lady with that kind of twist

[Refrain]

I am a man

A man as warm as you during the day

A man who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down

A man whose heart bursts when night comes

Such a man

[Pre-Chorus]

Beautiful, lovely

Yes, you (Hey), yes, it's you (Hey)

Beautiful, lovely

Yes, you (Hey), yes, it's you (Hey)

Shall we go from now to the end?

[Chorus]

Oppa is Gangnam style, uh

Gangnam style

Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh

Gangnam style

Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh

Ayy, sexy lady

Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh

Ayy, sexy lady

Op, op, op, op, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

[Verse 2]

A woman who seems calm but knows how to have fun

A woman who lets her hair down when she feels it's the right time

A woman who covers herself but is more sexy than a woman who bares it all

A woman with that kind of sense

[Refrain]

I am a man

A man who seems calm but knows how to have fun

A man who goes completely crazy when it's the right time

A man who is more bulging with ideas than muscles

Such a man

[Pre-Chorus]

Beautiful, lovely

Yes, you (Hey), yes, it's you (Hey)

Beautiful, lovely

Yes, you (Hey), yes, it's you (Hey)

Shall we go from now to the end?

[Chorus]

Oppa is Gangnam style, uh

Gangnam style

Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh

Gangnam style

Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh

Ayy, sexy lady

Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh

Ayy, sexy lady

Op, op, op, op, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

[Bridge]

A guy who runs, and then a guy who flies

Baby, baby, I am a guy who knows a thing or two

A guy who runs, and then a guy who flies

Baby, baby, I am a guy who knows a thing or two (You know what I'm sayin')

[Chorus]

Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

Ayy, sexy lady

Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style

Ayy, sexy lady

Op, op, op, op, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

[Verse 1: Carl Wilson]

I may not always love you

But long as there are stars above you

You never need to doubt it

I'll make you so sure about it

[Refrain: Carl Wilson]

God only knows what I'd be without you

[Verse 2: Carl Wilson]

If you should ever leave me

Well, life would still go on, believe me

The world could show nothing to me

So what good would living do me?

[Refrain: Carl Wilson]

God only knows what I'd be without you

[Interlude: Carl Wilson, Brian Wilson, and Bruce Johnston]

Ooh, ooh

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Bow, buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do)

Buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do, do, do)

Buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)

God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be)

God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows)

God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be)

God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows)

God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be)

God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows)

God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be)

God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows)
