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