  			(intro) Am F C G/B 

(verse 1) 
Am           F                   C 
  Come up to meet you, tell you I       'm sorry 
                                 G/B 
You don       't know how lovely you are 
Am         F                    C 
  I had to find you, tell you I need you 
                        G/B 
Tell you I set you apart 
Am             F                        C 
  Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions 
                             G/B 
Oh let       's go back to the start 
Am           F                  C 
  Running in circles, coming up tails 
                        G/B 
Heads on a science apart 

(Chorus 1) 
F                         C 
  Nobody said it was easy 
                                G/B 
It       's such a shame for us to part 
F                         C 
  Nobody said it was easy 
                                       G 
No one ever said that it would be this hard 
G7    (hold) 
 Oh take me back to the start 

(interlude) Am F C G/B 

(verse 2) 
Am           F                       C 
  I was just guessing at numbers and figures 
                         G/B 
Pulling the puzzles apart 
Am             F                    C 
  Questions of science, science and progress 
               C               G/B 
Don       't speak as loud as my heart 
Am            F                      C 
  Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me 
                          G/B 
Oh and I rush to the start 
Am           F                    C 
  Running in circles, chasing our tails 
                     G/B 
Coming back as we are 

(Chorus 2) 
F                         C 
  Nobody said it was easy 
                                G/B 
It       's such a shame for us to part 
F                         C 
  Nobody said it was easy 
                                       G 
No one ever said that it would be this hard 
G7    (hold) 
 I       'm going back to the start 

(outro) C F C G/B (4x) 

Ohh--Ohh
