INTRODUCTION:

(00:22 ) Introduction to "The Scientist"

VERSE ONE:

(01:56 ) Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

(02:38 ) You don't know how lovely you are

(03:03 ) I had to find you, tell you I need you

(03:48 ) Tell you I set you apart

(04:29 ) Tell me your secrets, ask me your questions

(05:22 ) Oh let's go back to the start

(05:48 ) Running in circles, coming up tails

(07:42 ) Heads on a science apart

CHORUS:

(08:22 ) Nobody said it was easy

(08:47 ) It's such a shame for us to part

(09:34 ) No one ever said it would be this hard

(10:04 ) Oh take me back to the start

(10:28 ) I was just guessing at numbers and figures

(11:32 ) Pulling the puzzles apart

(11:56 ) Questions of science, science and progress

(12:31 ) Do not speak as loud as my heart

(13:18 ) Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me

(14:10 ) Oh and I rush to the start

(14:33 ) Running in circles, chasing our tails

(15:21 ) Coming back as we are
