G# D# Fm
So I sit here writing words in our old place
C#
They all come out as letters
G# D# Fm
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
C#
Start and the ending of eras
G# D#
When mystery fades
Fm C#
We identify the problems
G# D# Fm C#
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
G# D# Fm C#
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
G# D#
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
Fm G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
G# C# D#
[Chorus]
G# C#
And I can't let it bother me
D# G# D# Fm
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
C# D# B5 C#5 D#5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
G# D# Fm
So I sit here carving words into the wall
C# G#
Words that remind me of just how I was
D# Fm
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
C#
When I was young and in love
G# D#
When mystery fades
Fm C#
We identify the problems
G# D# Fm C#
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
G# D# Fm C#
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
G# D#
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
Fm G(bar)
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
G# C# D#
[Chorus]
G# C#
And I can't let it bother me
D# G# D# Fm
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
C# D# G#
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
C#
And I can't let it bother me
D# G# D# Fm
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
C# D# B5 C#5 D#5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
B5 C#5 D#5
Too seriously,
B5 C#5 D#5
Too seriously...
