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