Gm      Eb
Come up to meet you
             Bbsus2
Tell you I'm sorry
                    Bb           Gm
You don't know how lovely you are
         Eb
I had to find you
            Bbsus2
Tell you I need you
           Bb           Gm
Tell you I set you apart
           Eb
Tell me your secrets
             Bbsus2
And ask me your questions
       Bb                  Gm
Oh, let's go back to the start
           Eb
Running in circles
          Bbsus2
Coming up tails
             Bb             Gm
Heads on the science apart
                        Eb
Nobody said it was easy
              Bbsus2             Gm
It's such a shame for us to part
                        Eb
Nobody said it was easy
             Bbsus2                   F
No one ever said it would be this hard
       (STOP)               Bbsus2     Dm   Bbsus2   Bb     Gm
Oh, take me back to the start
           Eb
I was just guessing
               Bbsus2
The numbers and figures
             Bb           Gm
Pulling the puzzles apart
              Eb
Questions of science
             Bbsus2
Science and progress
              Bb              Gm
Do not speak as loud as my heart
           Eb
Tell me you love me
             Bbsus2
Come back and haunt me
           Bb               Gm
Oh, when I rush to the start
               Eb
Running in circles
         Bbsus2
Chasing tails
        Bb           Eb
Coming back as we are
                    Bbsus2
Nobody said it was easy
                Bb                  Eb
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
                    Bbsus2
Nobody said it was easy
               Bb                    F
No one ever said it would be so hard
   (STOP)
I'm going back to the start

ENDING: Gm-Eb-Bbsus2-Bb(x4)

Xeee

Doesn't sound super accurate, especially the Bbsus2 chord. But pretty close and easy to play.

About this song: The Scientist

Chris Martin wrote "The Scientist" after listening to George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass". In an interview with Rolling Stone, Martin revealed that while working on the band's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, he knew that the album was missing something. One night, during a stay in Liverpool, Martin found an old piano that was out of tune. He wanted to work on George Harrison's song "Isn't It a Pity", but he could not manage to do so.
