I love Us Against The World by Coldplay. Most people don't remember or just know that the band has written lots of beautiful acoustic folk songs. Here's one of those. Sometimes songs could be as simple, profound, and not complicated as this.
Whether you are a guitar player or a music lover, just listen, watch, play and sing... If you're too lazy to learn more than 1 chord shape, try this song. Hope you will enjoy it!
For those who want to play guitar :
No barre chords, easy two chords shapes, sound great...
Every song you'll find on this channel is mostly based on these two simple chord shapes.

3 - Follow the Stripes.
Move along the neck to play all the chords you need
When the stripes fall on the I - IV - V (upper case), use the MAJOR CHORD SHAPE
When the stripes fall on the ii - iii - vi (lower case), use the MINOR CHORD SHAPE
When the stripes fall on the vii°... well we'll see it later.
