[Intro]
|Bm7   |G     |D     |Dsus2 | x2
 
[Verse]
Bm7             G                     D
   Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
                    Dsus2
You don't know how lovely you are
Bm7             G                    D
   I had to find you, tell you I need you,
              Dsus2
Tell you I’ll set you apart
Bm7               G                          D
   Tell me your secrets, and’ask me your questions
               Dsus2
Oh, let’s go back to the start
Bm7             G                  D
   Running in circles, coming up tails,
               Dsus2
Heads on a science apart
 
[Chorus]
G
  Nobody said it was easy
D             Dsus2
  It's such a shame for us to part
G
  Nobody said it was easy
D             A/D              D6/9    A/E Asus4 A
  No one ever said it would be this hard.
N.C.
Oh take me back to the start...
 
[Instrumental]

|Bm7   |G     |D     |Dsus2   |
 
[Verse]
Bm7              G                      D
   I was just guessing at numbers and figures
                 Dsus2
Pulling the puzzles apart
Bm7                G                    D
   Questions of science, science and progress
                   Dsus2
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Bm7               G                        D
   Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
               Dsus2
Oh, and I rush to the start
Bm7             G                    D
   Running in circles, chasing our tails
                  Dsus2/C#
Coming back as we are
 
[Chorus]
G
  Nobody said it was easy
D                 Dsus2
  Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part
G
  Nobody said it was easy
D             A/D              D6/9  A/E Asus4 A
  No one ever said it would be so hard.
N.C.
I’m going back to the start.

umm whitemouse if u knew anything about music you would realize a Bm with a capo on 3 is the same as a Dm which is the key it is played in, w/o any capo. This tab was good, it was a little different than most but it sounded good and was right so props to the tabber. Whitemouse you are an idiot
