A E F#m
So I sit here writing words in our old place
D
They all come out as letters
A E F#m
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
D
Start and the ending of eras
A E
When mystery fades
F#m D
We identify the problems
A E F#m D
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
A E F#m D
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
A E
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
F#m G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
A D E
[Chorus]
A D
And I can't let it bother me
E A E F#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
D E C5 D5 E5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
A E F#m
So I sit here carving words into the wall
D A
Words that remind me of just how I was
E F#m
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
D
When I was young and in love
A E
When mystery fades
F#m D
We identify the problems
A E F#m D
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
A E F#m D
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
A E
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
F#m G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
A D E
[Chorus]
A D
And I can't let it bother me
E A E F#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
D E A
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
D
And I can't let it bother me
E A E F#m
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
D E C5 D5 E5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
C5 D5 E5
Too seriously,
C5 D5 E5
Too seriously...
