Intro: F(no 3) Fmaj7 Gm7 Bb2
Am7 C Bb2
F Fmaj7
They say that these are not the best of times
Gm7 Bb2 F Fmaj7 Gm7 Bb2
But they're the only times I've ever known
F Fmaj7 Gm7
And I believe there is a time for meditation
Bb2 C G C
In cathedrals of our own
A7 Dm C Bb2 F
Now I've seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
G7/sus4 G7 Csus4 C
And I can only stand apart and sympathize
Bb F Gm7
For we are always what our situations hand us
C Bb2 Eb Bb
It's either sadness or euphoria
So we'll argue and we'll compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience
Out separate conclusions are the same.
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
Our reason coexists with our insanity
And though we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria
Dm C Bb2 F
How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
G7/sus4 G7 Csus4 C
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
Bb F Gm7
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives
C Bb2 Eb Bb
With our respective similarities
C F
It's either sadness or euphoria.
