Come up to meet you, at tell you I’m sor ry; you don’t know how love ly you are.
I had to find you, tell you I need you, that tell you I’ll set you a part.
Tell me your sec rets and ask me your quest ions; oh, let’s go back to the start.
Run ning in cir cles, com ing up tails;
heads on a sci ence a part.
No bo dy said it was ea sy.
(F)Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part.
No bo dy said it was ea sy.
No one ev er (F6)said it would be this hard.
Oh take me back to the start.
I was just guess ing at num bers and fig ures, pull ing your puz zles a part.
Ques tions of sci ence, sci ence and pro gress, that must speak as loud as my heart.
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me; oh, and I rush to the start.
Run ning in cir cles, chas ing our tails;
com ing a back as we are.
No bo dy said it was ea sy.
(F)Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part.
No bo dy said it was ea sy.
No one ev er (F6)said it would be so hard.
I’m go ing back to the start.
Ooh.
Ah, ooh.
Ah, ooh.
Ah, ooh.
