E6 A E7M
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you, Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
E6 A E7M
Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles, Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

E6 A E7M
I was just guessing, At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
E6 A E7M
Questions of science, Science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart
E6 A E7M
Tell me you love me, Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
E6 A E7M
Running in circles, Chasing tails
Coming back as we are
E6 A E7M
Nobody said it was easy, Oh It's such a shame for us to part
E6 A E7M
Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be this hard
