Type the lyrics to “The Scientist” by Coldplay

'The Scientist' is slow, reflective, and built on simple, repeated phrases — 'nobody said it was easy' lands again and again. That combination makes it one of the calmest, most forgiving tracks here, ideal when you want to focus on accuracy and clean keystrokes.

Based on its natural singing speed, this track sits in the “brisk” range, a quick pace that pushes solid typists to keep up. You can slow the video down or turn on Easy mode (which drops capitals and punctuation) to make it more approachable, or type at full speed to test yourself.

The full lyrics run to roughly 187 words, making it a medium-length session. Repetition in the chorus means you'll drill the same words several times, which is exactly how typing speed on common words improves.

Genre and mood tags for this track: rock, alternative, ballad.
