The Scientist Guitar Tablature
OK, the chords for the verse are: [Dm] -> [Bb] -> [F] -> [C/F]
and for the chorus: [Bb] -> [F] -> [C/F] -> (repeat) -> C
and the bit after the chorus: [F] -> [Bb] -> [F(twice)] -> [Dm] -> [Bb] -> [F] -> [C/F]


so, :


VERSE
-----
    Come up to meet you, tell you im sorry, you dont know how lovely you are
[Dm]              [Bb]                [F]                       [C/F]
    I have to find you, tell you i need you, tell you i set you apart
[Dm]            [Bb]                 [F]                 [C/F]
    tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions, oh lets go back to the start
[Dm]              [Bb]             [F]                          [C/F]
    running in circles, coming in tails, ?heads on a science apart?
[Dm]              [Bb]             [F]                    [C/F]


CHORUS
------
    nobody said it was easy
[Bb]                       [F]
its such a shame for us to part
           [C/F]
    nobody said it was easy
[Bb]                       [F]
noone ever said it would be this hard
           [C/F]                      [C]
oh take me back to the start

then (guitar begins): [F] -> [Bb] -> [F(twice)] -> [Dm] -> [Bb] -> [F] -> [C/F]


VERSE 2
i was just guessing, numbers and figures, put in a puzzles apart
questions of science, science and progress, it must speak as loud as my heart
tell me you love me, come back and haunt me, oh when i rush to your star
running in circles, chasing tails, coming back as we are

CHORUS
nobody said it was easy
its such a shame for us to part
nobody said it was easy
noone ever said it would be so hard
im going back to the start


THE CHORDS
----------

You can play the chords above as you would find them in a chord dictionary (at the top of the 

neck), but I think when the guitar comes in they are played like this, judging from the sliding 

noises you can hear between the chords in the song:

Dm:  [ 5 5 7 7 6 5 ]

Bb:  [ 6 8 8 7 6 6 ]

F:   [ 1 3 3 2 1 x ] }
                     }  (use your thumb on the low E string for these two,
C/F: [ 1 3 3 0 1 x ] }   instead of the normal barre chord shape)

C:   [ 3 3 5 5 5 3 ]


hope that helps.
oh, and sorry about the words; i wrote them out very quickly and they're probably mostly wrong or miss-typed.
