Intro: Em7 C G D6


Verse 1:
Em7           C                   G
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

                   D6
You don't know how lovely you are

Em7         C                    G
I had to find you, tell you I need you

            D6
Tell you I set you apart

Em7             C                        G
  Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions

              D6
Oh let's go back to the start

Em7           C                  G
  Running in circles, coming up tails

           D6
Heads on a science apart


Chorus 1:
C                         G
Nobody said it was easy

             D6
It's such a shame for us to part

C                       G
Nobody said it was easy

            Gmaj7                      D6
No one ever said that it would be this hard

D7
Oh take me back to the start


Interlude:
G C G D6


Verse 2:
Em7           C                   G
I was just guessing at numbers and figures

            D6
Pulling the puzzles apart

Em7           C                   G
Questions of science, science and progress

              D6
Don't speak as loud as my heart

Em7           C                   G
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me

          D6
Oh and I rush to the start

Em7           C                   G
Running in circles, chasing our tails

         D6
Coming back as we are


Chorus 2:
C                         G
  Nobody said it was easy

                   D6
It's such a shame for us to part

C                       G
Nobody said it was easy

            Gmaj7                        D6
No one ever said that it would be this hard

D7
I'm going back to the start
