_ _ [F] They say that these are not the best of times,
[Bb] but they're the only times I've [F] ever _ known.
[Gm] _
[Bb] _ And I [F] believe there is a time for [Bb] meditation
in cathedrals [C] of our own. _ _ _ _
[A] Now [Dm] I have seen that sad [Am] surrender in [Bb] my lover's eyes.
[C] I can [G] only stand [C] apart and sympathize.
[Bb] For we are always [F] what our situations hand us.
[C] It's either sadness [Bb] or [Gm] euphoria.
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] So we'll argue and we'll compromise,
[Gm] or realize [Bb] that nothing's [F] ever _ _ _ [Gm] changed.
[Bb] _
[F] For all our mutual experience,
[Gm] our separate [Bb]
conclusions [C] are the same.
_ [G] [C] Now _ _
[A] [Dm] we are forced to [F] recognize our [Bb] _ inhumanity.
[F] [G] Our reason coexists with [C] our insanity. _
[Bb] Though we choose [F] between reality and [Gm] madness,
[C] it's either sadness [Bb] or euphoria.
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] [Dm] How thoughtlessly we dissipate [Bb] our energies.
[G] Perhaps we don't fulfill each [C] other's _ fantasies.
Though [Bb] we stand upon [F] the ledges of our [Bb] lives
[C] with our respective [Bb] similarities,
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ [C] it's either sadness [F] or euphoria.
_ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
