C# G# A#m
So I sit here writing words in our old place
F#
They all come out as letters
C# G# A#m
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
F#
Start and the ending of eras
C# G#
When mystery fades
A#m F#
We identify the problems
C# G# A#m F#
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
C# G# A#m F#
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
C# G#
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
A#m G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
C# F# G#
[Chorus]
C# F#
And I can't let it bother me
G# C# G# A#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
F# G# E5 F#5 G#5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
C# G# A#m
So I sit here carving words into the wall
F# C#
Words that remind me of just how I was
G# A#m
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
F#
When I was young and in love
C# G#
When mystery fades
A#m F#
We identify the problems
C# G# A#m F#
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
C# G# A#m F#
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
C# G#
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
A#m G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
C# F# G#
[Chorus]
C# F#
And I can't let it bother me
G# C# G# A#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
F# G# C#
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
F#
And I can't let it bother me
G# C# G# A#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
F# G# E5 F#5 G#5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
E5 F#5 G#5
Too seriously,
E5 F#5 G#5
Too seriously...
