Lyrics

They say that (F5)these are not the best of times,

but (Gm11)they're the only times I've ever (F5)known.

(Bb)And I (F5)believe there is a time

for meditation in (Bb)cathedrals of our (C)own.

(A7)Now I have (Dm)seen that sad (F)surrender in my (Bb)lover's eyes,

(F)and (G7sus)I can only stand.

(G7)apart and (Csus)sympathize.

(C)For we are (Bb)always what our (F)situations hand us,

it's either (C)sadness or

euphoria.

(Bb)So we'll (F5)argue and we'll compromise,

and (Gm7)realize that (Bb)nothing's ever changed.

(Bb)For all our mutual (Fmaj7)experience,

our separate conclusions are

the (C)same.

(A7)Now we are (Dm)forced to recognize

our (Bb)inhumanity.

(F)Our (G7sus)reason (G7)coexists with our (Csus)insanity.

(C)And though we (Bb)choose between reality and (Gm7)madness,

it's either (C)sadness or

euphoria.

(A7)How (Dm)thoughtlessly we (F)dissipate our (Bb)energies.

(F)(G7sus)Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's (Csus)fantasies.

(C)And as we (Bb)stand upon the ledges of our lives

with our (C)respective (Bb)similarities,

(Bb)it's either (Csus2)sadness or

euphoria.

(F)Whoa

(Bb)ho, ho.

(Bb)Whoa, ho, ho,

(Bb)whoa.
