VERSE 1:
F#m          D                     A
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
                                  E  F#m
You don't know how lovely you are
           D
I had to find you
            A
Tell you I need you
                       E  F#m
Tell you I set you apart
                D
Tell me your secrets
                A
And ask me your questions
                              E F#m
Oh, let's go back to the start
             D
Running in circles
            A
Coming up tails
                      E  D
Heads on a science apart

CHORUS:
D                       Dsus2
Nobody said it was easy
A                               E
It's such a shame for us to part
D                       Dsus2
Nobody said it was easy
A                            F#m  E
No one ever said it would be this hard
                          A       Dmaj9
Oh, take me back to the start

VERSE 2:
F#m             D
I was just guessing
                A
At numbers and figures
                          E   F#m
Pulling your puzzles apart
              D
Questions of science
              A
Science and progress
                                 E  F#m
Do not speak as loud as my heart
             D
Tell me you love me
               A
Come back and haunt me
                           E   D
Oh, and I rush to the start

CHORUS:
D                        Dsus2
Nobody said it was easy
A                                E  D
It's such a shame for us to part
                        Dsus2
Nobody said it was easy
A                              F#m  E    A  E
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start
                            F#m   D   A
