Intro:  F (no3)  F7M    Gm7    Bb2

        Am7      C        Bb2

              F                 F7M
They say that these are not the best of times
    Gm7                Bb2               F  F7M  Gm7  Bb2
But they're the only times I've ever known
        F                F7M         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
    G7sus      G7              Csus      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
   G7sus            G7                Csus     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.
