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

E6           A                  E7M
  Running in circles, Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart


(For the strumming parts such as the chorus, just strum the chords and you can add in 
this during the a chord if you want)

                                        (this is where you choose to play it or play 
another 2 "A" chords instead)

E6       A                E7M
  Nobody said it was easy,    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

Oh, take me back to the start

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

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord Ab

    Ab is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: Ab ↔ A

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Open
  3. 3

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.

Exercise: F-akkoord starter (vereenvoudigd → barré)10 min · drill this on its own and this song gets easier by itself
