I just found out I have perfect pitch - Page 5

Back to reality though, my perfect pitch is extremely broken right now.

the whole song is in B major. In this scale, a D will not occur very often, if at all, especially for a such lame band like coldplay.

the very first note i hear (played with acoustic guitar) is a very clear D#.

In defense, you claim that you were referring to when he starts singing. The "look" in "look at the stars" is sang very fleetingly (slurred and quickly). I really doubt you can use this for what you describe in the OP. But let's say you can. Even then, it goes C# (look) D# (at) C# (the) stars (D#).
Since he slurs the "look" so much, more accurately, it can be described as: "(C-C#-D quickly) (look) D# (at) C# (the) D# (stars)
But, C# is definitely the most prominent note of "look," which by itself is very fleeting indeed. Then, extracting the "D" from it would be a near impossible and rather foolish venture. I am 99% sure that you are off by at least a semitone.

Might want to retune that guitar, friend

edit: i'd think it would wise to seek the hallowed "D" elsewhere. may i suggest the beethoven's 9th symphony

for the first time, i agree with fana
