_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ How can [E] you stand the [D] silence that pervades [A] when we all cry?
_ _ _ How can [E] you watch the violence _ [D] that erupts [A] before your eyes?
_ _ You can't even [E]
grab a hold of [D] _ when we're hanging [A] oh so loose
_ _ _ You don't [E] even listen to us _ [D] _ when we [A] talk, it ain't no use
_ [D] _ _ Leave your thoughtlessness [A] behind you, _ _ [D] then you may begin to [A] understand
_ [D] _ _ Leave the emptiness [A] around you _ [F#m] _ with the waving of your [E] hand
_ _ _ That was [D] a wonderful [A] remark, _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ I had [D] my eyes closed in the [A] dark _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] I saw the million sides, _ _ _ _ [A] I told a million lies
To [E] myself, _
_ _ [D] _ to [A] myself, _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] oh, _
_ _ [D] _ oh, _ [A] oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
oh, _ [D] oh, oh, [A] _
oh
Now _ _ _ _ how can we [E] listen to you when [D] _
we know that your talk [A] is cheap?
How _ _ can we [E] never question why [D] _
we give more [A] and you keep? _ _ _
How can your [E] empty laughter fill [D] _ _
a room like ours with joy
When _ _ _ [E] you're only playing with us [D] _
like a child does with a toy? _ _ _ _
How can we ever [A] feel the freedom _ [D] of the flame [A] that's sparked?
How [D] _ _
can we ever [A] come out even [F#m] when _ _ reality [E] is dark? _ _
That [D] was a wonderful [A] remark, I _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ had [D] my eyes closed in the [A]
dark
I _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
saw the million sides, _ _ _ [A] _
I told a million lies
To [E] myself, _
_ [E] _ _ [D] _ to [A] myself, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
oh, _ _ [D] _ oh, _ [A] _
oh, oh, _ _ _ [E] _
oh, _ [D] oh, oh, [A] _
_ oh
_ _ Listen, _ how can you tell [E] us something _ _ [D] _
just to keep [A] us hanging on? _ _ _
_ Something that [E] just don't mean nothing
_ _ [D] _
When we see you, [A] you are gone _ _ _
Clanging to [E] some other rainbow
_ _ [D] _
While we're standing [A] waiting outside in the cold _ _
_ Telling us [E] the same sad story
[D] _
_ Knowing time [A] is growing old
_ _ [D] _
Touch your world [A] up with some color
_ _ [D] _
_ Dream [A] you're swinging on a star
_ [D] _
_ Taste it [A] first, then add some flavor
[F#m] Now _ you know [E] who you are _ _
That was [D] a _ wonderful [A]
remark, I _ _ had [E] _
_ _ _ [D] _ my eyes closed in [A] the dark
I _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
saw the million sides, _ [A] I _ told a million lies
To [E] myself, _ oh [D] yeah, _ to [A]
myself, _ oh, _ _ _ [E] _
