|Dm          |Bb                    |F                        |Fadd9         |
   Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry, you don't know how lovely you are
|Dm        |Bb                  |F                   |Fadd9        |
   I had to find you, tell you I need you, tell you I set you apart

|Dm            |Bb                     |F                      |Fadd9            |
   Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions, oh, let's go back to the start
|Dm          |Bb                |F                |Fadd9        |
   Running in circles, coming up tails, heads on a science apart

|Bb      |Bb           |F              |Fadd9               |
   Nobody said it was easy, It’s such a shame for us to part
|Bb      |Bb           |F              |Fmaj7         F6          |
   Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard
|C   |C                              |
        Oh, take me back to the start

|F     |Bb    |F     |Fadd9     |

|Dm          |Bb                     |F                   |Fadd9        |
   I was just guessing at numbers and figures, pulling the puzzles apart
|Dm            |Bb                  |F                        |Fadd9           |
   Questions of science, science and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart
|Dm               |Bb                    |F                 |Fadd9       Fsus4   |
   But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me, oh and I rush to the start
|Dm          |Bb                  |F           |Fadd9         |
   Running in circles, chasing our tail, coming back as we are

|Bb      |Bb           |F                  |Fadd9               |
   Nobody said it was easy, oh, It’s such a shame for us to part
|Bb      |Bb           |F              |Fmaj7         F6          |
   Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard
|C   |C                            |
        I'm going back to the start

|F      |Bb    |F     |F     |
|Dm     |Bb    |F     |F     |

|Dm     |Bb    |F     |F     |
|Dm     |Bb    |F     |F     |
|Dm     |Bb    |F     |F     |
