Verse:
(riff 1)
Night after night
I try to make it all fit together
(riff 1)
Night after night
I see you as someone I remember
Pre-Chorus:
You took me by surprise
Opened up my eyes
(riff 2)
Now we gotta talk this over.
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 (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?

Serious, so serious...
