(Verse)
(Bm) Come up to meet (G) you, tell you I'm sor-(D)-ry
You don't know how (A) lovely you are
(Bm) I had to find (G) you, tell you I need (D) you,
Tell you I’ll set (A) you apart
(Bm) Tell me your se-(G)-crets, and ask me your ques-(D)tions
Oh, let’s go back (A) to the start
(Bm) Running in cir-(G)-cles, coming up tails, (D)
Heads on a science (A) apart
 
(Chorus)
(G) Nobody said it was easy
(D) It's such a shame (A) for us to part
(G) Nobody said it was easy
(D) No one ever (Em)said it would be this hard (A)
(NC) Oh, take me back to the start

(Verse)
(Bm) I was just gues-(G)sing at numbers and fig-(D)ures
Pulling the puzzles apart
(Bm) Questions of sci-(G)ence, science and pro-(D)gress
Do not speak as (D)loud as my heart
(Bm) Tell me you love (G) me, come back and haunt (D) me
Oh, and I (D)rush to the start
(Bm) Running in cir-(G)cles, chasing our tails (D)
Coming back (D) as we are
 
(Chorus)
(G) Nobody said it was easy
(D) Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part
(G) Nobody said it was easy
(D) No one ever said it would be so hard (A)
(NC) I’m going back to the star
