"The Scientist" by Coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorryYou don't know how lovely you areI had to find you, tell you I need youTell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questionsOh, let's go back to the startRunning in circles, coming up tailsHeads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easyIt's such a shame for us to partNobody said it was easyNo one ever said it would be this hardOh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figuresPulling the puzzles apartQuestions of science, science and progressDo not speak as loud as my heart

But tell me you love me, come back and haunt meOh and I rush to the startRunning in circles, chasing our tailsComing back as we are

Nobody said it was easyOh, it's such a shame for us to partNobody said it was easyNo one ever said it would be so hardI'm going back to the start
(I absolutely dislike Coldplay.  They try to sound too much like that famous band from Ireland.  I used to tell Maura how much I absolutely hate Coldplay.  She would play this the "Rush of Blood to the Head" CD and I would just cringe and mock Chris Martin's Bono sound-alike.  However, I just figured out how to play this song tonight and it is absolutely one of the most beautiful song I ever learned to play. The original has a piano backing the vocals but I figured it out on acoustic guitar and I guess some things take time to fully appreciate.)
