C           G        (riff 1)
Verse:        Night after night
Dm               Am        F  G
I try to make it all fit together
C           G        (riff 1)
Night after night
Dm           Am          F  G
I see you as someone I remember

C                 Dm
Pre-Chorus:    You took me by surprise
             Em
Opened up my eyes
             F               (riff 2)
Now we gotta talk this over.

Am     F         G      C
Chorus:        Can it really be so serious?
      Am         F      G     C
To be all broken up and delirious
C       G            Am          F
I guess we've really been out of touch
    Am     F         G      C
But can it really be so serious?
     Am   F      G
(Serious, so serious)

Verse (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

Pre-Chorus:    But you know how it is
No matter what I did
We gotta talk it over.

(riff 3 instead of riff 2)

Chorus:        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)

Verse:        Tonight, tonight
I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight
I'm sorry, but I just didn't see

Pre-Chorus:    And now it's up to you
There's nothing else to do
We've gotta talk it over.

(riff 3)

Chorus:        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 Am -F -G -C  progression from chorus):
Serious, so serious
Serious, so serious…
