Am F C
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
Csus2
You don't know how lovely you are
Am F C
I had to find you, tell you I need you,
Csus2
Tell you I’ll set you apart
Am F C
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions

Oh, let’s go back to the start
Am F C
Running in circles, coming up tails,
Csus2
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy

It's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

Am F C
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Csus2
Pulling the puzzles apart
Am F C
Questions of science, science and progress
Csus2
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Am F C
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Csus2
Oh, and I rush to the start
Am. F C
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Csus2
Coming back as we are

Chorus

F
Nobody said it was easy

Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part
F
Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be so hard.

I’m going back to the start.
