C G Am
So I sit here writing words in our old place
F
They all come out as letters
C G Am
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
F
Start and the ending of eras
C G
When mystery fades
Am F
We identify the problems
C G Am F
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
C G Am F
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
C G
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
Am 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 Am
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
F G D#5 F5 G5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
C G Am
So I sit here carving words into the wall
F C
Words that remind me of just how I was
G Am
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
F
When I was young and in love
C G
When mystery fades
Am F
We identify the problems
C G Am F
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
C G Am F
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
C G
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
Am 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 Am
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 Am
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
F G D#5 F5 G5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
D#5 F5 G5
Too seriously,
D#5 F5 G5
Too seriously...
