D# A# Cm
So I sit here writing words in our old place
G#
They all come out as letters
D# A# Cm
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
G#
Start and the ending of eras
D# A#
When mystery fades
Cm G#
We identify the problems
D# A# Cm G#
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
D# A# Cm G#
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
D# A#
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
Cm G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
D# G# A#
[Chorus]
D# G#
And I can't let it bother me
A# D# A# Cm
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
G# A# F#5 G#5 A#5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
D# A# Cm
So I sit here carving words into the wall
G# D#
Words that remind me of just how I was
A# Cm
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
G#
When I was young and in love
D# A#
When mystery fades
Cm G#
We identify the problems
D# A# Cm G#
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
D# A# Cm G#
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
D# A#
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
Cm G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
D# G# A#
[Chorus]
D# G#
And I can't let it bother me
A# D# A# Cm
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
G# A# D#
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
G#
And I can't let it bother me
A# D# A# Cm
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
G# A# F#5 G#5 A#5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
F#5 G#5 A#5
Too seriously,
F#5 G#5 A#5
Too seriously...
