Dm A# F Fsus4 Dm

            A#                     F
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
                    Fsus4        Dm
You don't know how lovely you are
          A#                      F
I had to find you, to tell you I need you,
              Fsus4       Dm
Tell you I’ll set you apart
              A#                        F
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
             Fsus4           Dm
Oh, let’s go back to the start
            A#                  F
Running in circles,  coming up tails,
            Fsus4      A#
Heads on a science apart


                       F
Nobody said it was easy
            Fsus4              A#
It's such a shame for us to part
                       F
Nobody said it was easy
            Fsus4                  C
No one ever said it would be this hard.
                         F    A#   F    Fsus4
Oh take me back to the start...

Dm A# F Fsus4 Dm

            A#                      F
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
            Fsus4       Dm
Pulling the puzzles apart
               A#                   F
Questions of science, science and progress
                Fsus4          Dm
Do not speak as loud as my heart
             A#                     F
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
           Fsus4          Dm
Oh, and I rush to the start
Dm          A#                   F
Running in circles, chasing our tails
       Fsus4         A#
Coming back as we are


                       F
Nobody said it was easy
                Fsus4              A#
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
                       F
Nobody said it was easy
            Fsus4                C
No one ever said it would be so hard
                        F    A#   F   F
I'm going back to the start
