Capo 5th Fret

Standard Tuning

[Verse 1]

Am                   F                        C

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

                              Cadd2

You don't know how lovely you are

Am         F

I had to find you

               C

Tell you I need you

              Cadd2

Tell you I set you apart

Am               F

Tell me your secrets

                          C

And ask me your questions

                 Cadd2

Oh, lets go back to the start

Am             F

Running in circles

                C

Coming up tails

                Cadd2

Heads on a science apart.

[Verse 2]

Am            F

I was just guessing

                        C

At numbers and figures

                Cadd2

Pulling the puzzles apart

Am               F

Questions of science

                 C

Science and progress

                      Cadd2

Do not speak as loud as my heart

Am             F

Tell me you love me

                      C

Come back and haunt me

              Cadd2

Oh, and I rush to the start

Am            F

Running in circles

                 C

Chasing our tails

             Cadd2

Coming back as we are

[Chorus 1]

F

Nobody said it was easy

C             Cadd2

It's such a shame for us to part

F

Nobody said it was easy

C               Cadd2                  G

No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start.

C - F - C - Cadd2
