[Intro]
C Em Dm7 F2 Em7 G F2
C Em Dm7 F2 C Em Dm7 F2
They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known
C Em Dm7 F2 G D G
And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own
-E7 Am G F2 - C/E
Now I've seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
D7sus D7 Gsus G
And I can only stand apart and sympathize
F C/E Dm7 G F2 Bb- F
For we are always what our situations hand us, it's either sadness or euphoria
C Em Dm7 F2 C Em Dm7 F2
So we'll argue and we'll compromise, and realize that nothing's ever changed
C Em Dm7 F2 G D G
For all our mutual experience, our separate conclusions are the same
-E7 Am G F2 -C/E
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
D7sus D7 Gsus G
Our reason coexists with our insanity
F C/E Dm7 G F2 Bb-F E7-
And though we choose between reality and madness, it's either sadness or euphoria
Am G F2 -C/E
How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
D7sus D7 Gsus G
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
F C/E Dm7 G F2 Bb-
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives with our respective similarities
F G C C/E
It's either sadness or euphoria
