[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)
[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]
[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.
[Outro] [F][Fmaj7/A][Gm7][Bbsus2] [F] Wo [Fmaj7/A] oo woh oo [Gm7] oh oo [Bbsus2] woh oh oo [F] oh [Fmaj7/A] ooh [Gm7] wo ooh [Bbsus2] woh oh oo (slows done to end) [Am7] woh oh [C] oh [Bbsus2] oh [C - (C C Cadd9 C Cadd6)] [F]
