Am                    G
Put your hands in the air
                 F                  C
If you sometimes ever get sad like me
Am                         G
Put your fingers on your chest
                     F            C
And your body and breathe, let it be
Am             G
Don't find it hard to say so
      F                  C
I'll say it, 'I get lonely'
Am                     G
Put your hands in the air
                 F                  C
If you sometimes ever get sad like me

         Am G            Dm7 C
Sad like me, wait patiently
                     Am G
And you're gonna be free
Wait patiently

Chorus:
         Am          G6
I get so serious sometimes
     Dm7                  C
My emotions sitting on a wire
       Am              G6
And I gotta be out my mind
            F                             C
'Cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine
                Am            G
Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes
    Dm7           C
And Cryin' rivers in the street
    Am                 G6           F    C
And God, I don't know why I get so serious sometimes
Am G6   Dm7     C
    (So serious)
Am G6    F
     So serious sometimes

I remember last summer in the city
Makin' plans and you felt like mine
Look at me and I felt so Hollywood
But, baby, then you changed your mind
I got so fuckin' close to feelin' so good, so satisfied
I remember last summer in the city
Makin' plans and you felt like mine

Felt like mine, then I froze in time
You changed your mind
And I'll never know why

Chorus:
I get so serious sometimes
My emotions sittin' on a wire
And I gotta be out my mind
'Cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine
Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes
And cryin' rivers in the streets
And, God, I don't know why I get so serious

I get so, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Violins and movie scenes
And cryin' rivers in the streets
And, God, I don't know why I get so serious sometimes
(So serious, so serious) Sometimes
So serious sometimes
