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