Come up to meet you, at tell me 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 se crets and ask me your ques tions; oh, let’s go back to the start.
Run ning in cir cles, com ing up tails;
heads on a si lence a part.
No bod y said it was eas y.
(F)Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part.

No one ev er (F)said it would (F6)be this hard.
Oh, take me back to the start.
I was just guess ing at num bers and fig ures, you 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, and come back and haunt me; oh, and I rush to the start.
Run ing in cir cles, chas ing our tails;
com ing a back as we are.
No bod y said it was eas y.

Oh, take me back to the start.
I’m go ing back to the start.
Ah, oo.
Ah, oo.
