B F# G#m
So I sit here writing words in our old place
E
They all come out as letters
B F# G#m
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
E
Start and the ending of eras
B F#
When mystery fades
G#m E
We identify the problems
B F# G#m E
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
B F# G#m E
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
B F#
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
G#m G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
B E F#
[Chorus]
B E
And I can't let it bother me
F# B F# G#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
E F# D5 E5 F#5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
B F# G#m
So I sit here carving words into the wall
E B
Words that remind me of just how I was
F# G#m
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
E
When I was young and in love
B F#
When mystery fades
G#m E
We identify the problems
B F# G#m E
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
B F# G#m E
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
B F#
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
G#m G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
B E F#
[Chorus]
B E
And I can't let it bother me
F# B F# G#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
E F# B
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
E
And I can't let it bother me
F# B F# G#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
E F# D5 E5 F#5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
D5 E5 F#5
Too seriously,
D5 E5 F#5
Too seriously...
