E6 A E7M
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
E6 A E7M
I had to find you, Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
E6 A E7M
Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
E6 A E7M
Running in circles, Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
(For the strumming parts such as the chorus, just strum the chords and you can add in
this during the a chord if you want)
(this is where you choose to play it or play
another 2 "A" chords instead)

Nobody said it was easy, It's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start

E6 A E7M
I was just guessing, At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
E6 A E7M
Questions of science, Science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart
E6 A E7M
Tell me you love me, Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
E6 A E7M
Running in circles, Chasing tails
Coming back as we are
E6 A E7M
Nobody said it was easy, Oh It's such a shame for us to part
E6 A E7M
Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be this hard
