How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The title track of Parachutes is more of an interlude than a fully fledged song; its total running time is 46 seconds. Such interludes would not appear again on a Coldplay release until 2011’s Mylo Xyloto.
