Yes is track #7 on Coldplay's fourth album, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends.

The song consists of violins on top of a North African string-and-tablas arrangement. Chris Martin's vocals are the lowest he has ever recorded in any of the band's songs.

It was formerly titled Yes! during production of the album.

Lyrics

When it started we had high hopes
Now my back’s on the line, my back’s on the ropes
When it started we were alright 
But night makes a fool of us in daylight

They were dying of frustration
Saying Lord lead me not into temptation
But it’s not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone

If you’d only, if you’d only say yes
Whether you will’s anybody’s guess
God, only God knows I’m trying my best
But I’m just so tired of this loneliness

So up the picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop then they let it go
Dizzily screaming ‘Let the windows down’
As I crawl to the ground

If you’d only, if you’d only say yes
Whether you will’s anybody’s guess
God, only God knows she won’t let me rest
But I’m just tired of this loneliness
I’ve become so tired of this loneliness...
