E6 (04xxxx@1)         A (x02220@1)                    E7M (020030@1) Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
E6 (04xxxx@1)       A (x02220@1)                  E7M (020030@1) I had to find you, Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
E6 (04xxxx@1)           A (x02220@1)                      E7M (020030@1) Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

E6 (04xxxx@1)         A (x02220@1)                E7M (020030@1) 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)

E6 (04xxxx@1)         A (x02220@1)                      E7M (020030@1) I was just guessing, At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
E6 (04xxxx@1)           A (x02220@1)                  E7M (020030@1) Questions of science, Science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart
E6 (04xxxx@1)          A (x02220@1)                    E7M (020030@1) Tell me you love me, Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
E6 (04xxxx@1)         A (x02220@1)              E7M (020030@1) Running in circles, Chasing tails
Coming back as we are

E6 (04xxxx@1)     A (x02220@1)              E7M (020030@1) Nobody said it was easy,  Oh It's such a shame for us to part
E6 (04xxxx@1)     A (x02220@1)              E7M (020030@1) Nobody said it was easy,    No one ever said it would be this hard
