There was a youtube video where they played both together and coldplays song is EXACTLY the same but with lyrics. they took it down due to the lawsuit though. Otherwise, i'd post it here.

It would be one thing if it was just the chord progression, because i mean anyone can come up with the same chord progressions, but they have the exact same melody, rhythm, and harmony. Its fucking uncanny dude.
Yea man I totally agree, I seriously doubt it was just a coincidence b/c it does sound way too similar. I too saw the video you mentioned and I agree, the chances of that happening is way too slim. Bastards probably thought they could get away with it too. GO SATCH!!
