intro : F ( no 3 ) Fmaj7 Gm7 A#+2
Am7 C A#+2
F Fmaj7
they say that these are not the best of times
Gm7 A#+2 F Fmaj7 Gm7 A#+2
but they’re the only times i’ve ever known
F Fmaj7 Gm7
and i believe there is a time for meditation
A#+2 C G C
in cathedrals of our own
A7 Dm C A#+2 F
now i’ve seen that sad surrender in my lover’s eyes
G7sus G7 Csus C
and i can only stand apart and sympathize
A# F Gm7
for we are always what our situations hand us
C A#+2 D# A#
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 A#+2 F
how thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
G7sus G7 Csus C
perhaps we don’t fulfill each other’s fantasies
A# F Gm7
and as we stand upon the ledges of our lives
C A#+2 D# A#
with our respective similarities
C F
it’s either sadness or euphoria .
