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,

Tell you I’ll set you apart
Bm7 G D
Tell me your secrets, and’ask me your questions

Oh, let’s go back to the start

Heads on a science apart

I was just guessing at numbers and figures

Pulling the puzzles apart

Oh, and I rush to the start

Running in circles, chasing our tails

Coming back as we are
