D                A                Bm    
So I sit here writing words in our old place 
              G 
They all come out as letters 
       D          A                    Bm 
And I contemplate 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              Bm       G 
But, they may not be problems after all 

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

      D            G       
And I can't let it bother me  
   A                  D     A        Bm 
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life 
      G              A                       F5   G5  A5 
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously? 
     
     D                A              Bm 
So I sit here carving words into the wall 
           G                       D 
Words that remind me of just how I was 
                A                   Bm 
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt  
           G 
When I was young and in love 
D            A 
When mystery fades 
Bm              G 
We identify the problems 
          D          A              Bm         G 
But, they may not be problems after all 

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

             F5 G5 A5 
Too seriously, 
             F5 G5 A5 
Too seriously...
