  			Em               C                   G 
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry 
                   Gadd9      
You don't know how lovely you are 

Em             C 
I had to find you 
                G 
Tell you I need you 
      Gadd9 
Tell you I set you apart 

Em                C 
Tell me your secrets 
                     G 
And ask me your questions 
             Gadd9 
Oh, let's go back to the start 

Em               C  
Running in circles 
             G 
Coming up tails 
              G/F# 
Heads on a science apart 

C                    G 
Nobody said it was easy 
               Gadd9 
It's such a shame for us to part 
C                   G 
Nobody said it was easy 
                  Gadd9              D 
No one ever said it would be this hard 
  
                            G 
Oh, take me back to the start 

Em                C 
I was just guessing 
                   G 
At numbers and figures 
            Gadd9 
Pulling the puzzles apart 

Em               C 
Questions of science 
                  G 
Science and progress 
              Gadd9 
Do not speak as loud as my heart 

Em               C 
Tell me you love me 
                 G 
Come back and haunt me 
          Gadd9 
Oh, and I rush to the start 

Em              C 
Running in circles 
               G 
Chasing our tails 
       G/F# 
Coming back as we are 

C                     G 
Nobody said it was easy 
                 Gadd9 
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part 
C                    G 
Nobody said it was easy 
               Gadd9               D 
No one ever said it would be so hard 

                           G 
I'm going back to the start 

Em     C     G     Gadd9 
Oh x4
