Standard (EADGBE)

So I sit here writing words in our old place

They all come out as letters

And I contemplate mistakes that we all make

Start and the ending of eras

When mystery fades

We identify the problems

But, they may not be problems after all

Pre-chorus

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

And I can't let it bother me

If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life

Can't we stop taking 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

Pre-chorus

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

And I can't let it bother me

If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life

Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?

And I can't let it bother me

If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life

Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?

Too seriously,

Too seriously...
