When descending the notes of the Bsus2 do the pulloff
with the little finger and then move that to 3rd fret
of D string - to fret - nice rolling sustained figure
[Repeat above once][Verse1]They say that
[F] these are not the
[Fmaj7/A] best of times But
[Gm7] they're the only
[Bbsus2] times I've ever
[F] known
[Fmaj7/A] [Gm7] [Bbsus2] And I
[F] believe there is a
[Fmaj7/A] time for medi
[Gm7] tation In
[Bbsus2] cathedrals of our
[C] own (
[C] [G])
[C] [A7] Now I've
[Dm] seen that sad sur
[C] render in my
[Bbsus2] lover's eyes
[Bbsus2/A] And
[G7sus4] I can only
[G7] stand upon and
[Cadd9] sympathize
[C] For we are
[Bb] always what our
[F] situations
[Gm7] hand us It's either
[C] sadness or
[Bbsus2] euphoria -
[Eb] [Bbsus2] (drums in)
[Intro - again] [F] [Fmaj7/A] [Gm7] [Bbsus2][Am7] [C] [Bbsus2] [Bbsus2][Verse2]So we'll
[F] argue and we'll
[Fmaj7/A] compromise
And
[Gm7] realize that
[Bbsus2] nothing's ever
[F] changed
[Fmaj7/A] [Gm7] [Bbsus2] ..For all our
[F] mutual
[Fmaj7/A] experience Our
[Gm7] separate con
[Bbsus2] clusions are the
[C] same (
[C] [G])
[C] [A7] .. Now we are
[Dm] forced to recog
[C] nize our inhu
[Bbsus2] manity
[Bbsus2/A] .. Our
[G7sus4] reason co
[G7] exists with our in
[Cadd9] sanity
[C] .. And though we
[Bb] choose between re
[F] ality and
[Gm7] madness .. It's either
[C] sadness or
[Bbsus2] euphoria
[Eb] [Bbsus2] [Solo - Intro - again] [F] [Fmaj7/A] [Gm7] [Bbsus2][Am7] [C] [Bbsus2] [Bbsus2][F] [Fmaj7/A] [Gm7] [Bbsus2][C] (
[C] [G])
[C] [A7] [Verse3]How
[Dm] thoughtlessly we
[C] dissipate our
[Bbsus2] energies
[Bbsus2/A] Per
[G7sus4] haps we don't ful
[G7] fill each other's
[Cadd9] fantasies
[C] .. And as we
[Bb] stand upon the
[F] ledges of our
[Gm7] lives With our
[C] respective simi
[Bbsus2] larities
[Eb] [Bbsus2] It's either
[C] sadness or
[F] euphoria.
