      D                A
So I sit here writing words
            Bm
in our old place
              G
They all come out as letters
       D
And I contemplate
    A                 Bm
mistakes that we all make
              G
Start and the ending of eras
D             A
When mystery fades
    Bm            G
We identify the problems
          D       A
But they may not be
               Bm G
problems after all

D          A
Shock and dismay they
  Bm            G
affect what we say
           D
We should bite our tongues
           A
we should bite our tongues
      Bm
Cause after all it's
G                  D  G A
only our lives anyway

Chorus:
    D               G
And I can't let it bother me
    A
If fact and fate just
D            A   Bm
can't agree on   love on life
     G
Can we stop taking
A                    A# C D
ourselves too seriously?

So I sit here carving words into the wall
Words that remind me of just how I was
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
When I was young and in love
When mystery fades
We identify the problems
But, they may not be problems after all

Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
We should bite our tongues,
we should bite our tongues
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...

Chorus:
     D              G
And I can't let it bother me
    A
If fact and fate just
D            A   Bm
can't agree on   love on life
     G
Can we stop taking
A                     D
ourselves too seriously?
              G
Can't let it bother me
    A
If fact and fate just
D            A   Bm
can't agree on  love on life
     G
Can we stop taking
 A                    A# C D
ourselves too seriously?
        A#   C D
Too seriously
        A#   C D
Too seriously
