Bm           G                      D 
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry 
                A              Bm 
You don't know how lovely you are 
           G                    D 
I had to find you, tell you I need you 
          A 
Tell you I set you apart 

Bm              G                         D 
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions 
                A           Bm 
Oh, let's go back to the start 
             G                 D 
Running in circles, coming up tails 
              A 
Heads on a science apart 

G                       D 
Nobody said it was easy 
             D9              G 
It's such a shame for us to part 
                     D 
Nobody said it was easy 
              D9                   A    A7 
No one ever said it would be this hard 
                          D      G      D      A7 
Oh, take me back to the start 

 Bm             G                      D 
I was just guessing at numbers and figures 
              A           Bm 
Pulling the puzzles apart 
                G                   D 
Questions of science, science and progress 
                  A9           Bm 
Do not speak as loud as my heart 

                  G                      D 
But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me 
           A9             Bm 
Oh, and I rush to the start 
              G                   D 
Running in circles, chasing our tails 
            A9        Bm 
Coming back as we are 

      G              D 
Nobody said it was easy 
                  A9              Bm 
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part 
      G              D 
Nobody said it was easy 
              A9                 A7    A7 
No one ever said it would be so hard 
                        D 
I'm going back to the start
