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
#
[Chorus] #
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 D
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
#
[Chorus] #
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 D
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously #
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 D
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously
