Tuning:Full Step Down (DGCFAD)  

     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(bar)
'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                       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(bar)
'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                       F5   G5  A5
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
             F5 G5 A5
Too seriously,
             F5 G5 A5
Too seriously...
