Hopefully this is right; it's easy to play anyway & this is the one S.O.B song I've 
which doesn't necessarily need C# tuning or whatever.
Chords:
C#  : x466xx (you can use C#m if you think it sounds better)
A   : 577655 (the open chord doesn't sound right in the verses, to me)
 F#m: 244222
   B: x244xx
   E: 022100
[Verse 1] (x2)
C#All will fall in lovin with your ego-tripping
everybody's looking for a sunday mission
Aain't nobody looking for a second chance
C#I'm just looking for a new romance
because
[Chorus]
F#mYou're too seriBous
you're gonna maEke me deliriAous
because
F#myou're too seriBous for me
[Verse 2]
C#Losing, losing, losing & I'm feelin loose an'
everybody's losing but there's no one choosin'
Aain't nobody searching for a second chance
C#I'm just looking for a new romance because
[Chorus]
F#mYou're too seriBous
you're gonna Emake me deliriAous
because
F#myou're too seriBous for me
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Because yF#mou're too serioBus
you're gonna Emake me deliriAous
because
F#myou're too seriBous
you're gonna Emake me deliriAous
because
F#myou're too seriBous for me

The story behind the song

"Serious" finds its meaning in the push and pull of attraction when one person's intensity clashes with another's desire for something lighter. The lyrics paint a picture of someone seeking a "new romance" but finding their potential partner "too serious," perhaps caught up in their own "ego-tripping." This song comes from Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, the solo project of the System of a Down guitarist and composer. It captures that moment when a connection might be there, but differing approaches to life—or love—create an undeniable distance.
