G D Em
So I sit here writing words in our old place
C
They all come out as letters
G D Em
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
C
Start and the ending of eras
G D
When mystery fades
Em C
We identify the problems
G D Em C
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
G D Em C
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
G D
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
Em 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 Em
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
C D A#5 C5 D5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
G D Em
So I sit here carving words into the wall
C G
Words that remind me of just how I was
D Em
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
C
When I was young and in love
G D
When mystery fades
Em C
We identify the problems
G D Em C
But, they may not be problems after all
[Pre-Chorus]
G D Em C
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
G D
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
Em 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 Em
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 Em
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
C D A#5 C5 D5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
A#5 C5 D5
Too seriously,
A#5 C5 D5
Too seriously...
