 Dm7            A#                     F
    Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
                    F9
 You don't know how lovely you are
 Dm7          A#                  F
    I had to find you, tell you I need you
            F9
 Tell you I set you apart
 Dm7              A#                       F
    Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
                F9
 Oh let's go back to the start
 Dm7            A#                   F
    Running in circles, coming in ta-ils
             F9
 Heads on a science apart


[Chorus, 1:18]

 A#
    Nobody said it was easy
 F         F9
    Oh it's a shame for us to part
 A#
    Nobody said it was easy
 F           F9                 C
    No one ever said it would be this hard
                       F
 Oh take it back to the start

[Verse 2, 2:18]

 Dm7            A#                     F
    I was just guessing at numbers and figures
                    F9
 Pulling your puzzles apart
 Dm7               A#                    F
    Questions of science, science and progress
            F9
 Do not speak as loud as my heart
 Dm7              A#                       F
    Tell me you love me... come back and ha-unt me
                F9
 Oh and a rush to the start
 Dm7            A#                   F
    Running in circles... chasing at tails
           F9
 Coming back as we are


[Chorus, 3:11, Only lyrics change a bit]

 A#
    Nobody said it was easy
 F                   F9
    Oh it's such a shame for us to part
 A#
    Nobody said it was easy
 F               F9                 C
    No one ever said it would be so ha-aard
                         F
 I'm going back to the start
