Am, F, C, G


Am              F                     C

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

                     G

You don't know how lovely you are

Am           F

I had to find you

               C

Tell you I need you

            G

Tell you I set you apart

Am.            F

Tell me your secrets

                C

And ask me your questions

               G.               C

Oh, let's go back to the start

Am.          F

Running in circles

          C

Coming up tails

           G

Heads on a science apart

F.                     C

Nobody said it was easy

              G

It's such a shame for us to part

F.                      C  

Nobody said it was easy

              G          

No one ever said it would be this hard

                          C

Oh, take me back to the start

Am.             F

I was just guessing

                    C

At numbers and figures

               G

Pulling the puzzles apart

Am.            F

Questions of science

                C

Science and progress

                    G

Do not speak as loud as my heart

Am.           F 

Tell me you love me

               C
Come back and haunt me

                          C

Oh, and I rush to the start

Am.             F

Running in circles

              C

Chasing our tails

                  G

Coming back as we are

F.                       C

Nobody said it was easy

                  G

Oh, it's such a shame for us to part

F.                      C

Nobody said it was easy

              G

No one ever said it would be so hard

                       C

I'm going back to the start


Oh [x4](am,f,c,g)

I like everyone's suggestions for the strum pattern. shall try them all. am definitely feeling the DDDD fits. I've been listening to the acoustic version of this song on Spotify and perhaps it also has another strum pattern in sections as well. eg verse and chorus.

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.
