(triplet feel) (8th note run) (16th note run)
Night after night
I try to make it all fit together
Night after night
I see you as someone I remember
You took me by surprise
Opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over.
Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
(Serious, so serious)
same as first verse):
Day after day
I know it's not the way that you wanted it
Day after day
I try to find the key, but it don't fit
But you know how it is
No matter what I did
We gotta talk it over. (riff 3 instead of riff 2)
Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
(Serious, so serious)
Tonight, tonight
I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight
I'm sorry, but I just didn't see
And now it's up to you
There's nothing else to do
We've gotta talk it over. (riff 3)
Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
Ending (use the --- progression from chorus):
Serious, so serious
Serious, so serious...
