E B C#m
So I sit here writing words in our old place
A
They all come out as letters
E B C#m
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
A
Start and the ending of eras
E B
When mystery fades
C#m A
We identify the problems
E B C#m A
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
E B C#m A
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
E B
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
C#m G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
E A B
[Chorus]
E A
And I can't let it bother me
B E B C#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
A B G5 A5 B5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
E B C#m
So I sit here carving words into the wall
A E
Words that remind me of just how I was
B C#m
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
A
When I was young and in love
E B
When mystery fades
C#m A
We identify the problems
E B C#m A
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
E B C#m A
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
E B
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
C#m G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
E A B
[Chorus]
E A
And I can't let it bother me
B E B C#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
A B E
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
A
And I can't let it bother me
B E B C#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
A B G5 A5 B5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
G5 A5 B5
Too seriously,
G5 A5 B5
Too seriously...
