--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | D D/F# | Em7 G | F#m7 A | G | | D D/F# | Em7 G | F#m7 A | G | [Verse]
              D                 D/F#
They say that these are not the best of times

    Em7              G                | D D/F# | Em7 G |
But they're the only times I've ever known

        D                D/F#         Em7
And I believe there is a time for meditation

     G              | A    E | A   A#dim7 |
In cathedrals of our own
[Bridge]
[ A#dim7 ]   Bm/D             A/C#         G/B          G G/F#
  Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers' eyes

    Esus4      E                Asus4     A
And I can only stand apart and sympathize

           G               D/F#       Em7
For we are always what our situations hand us

            A           | G     C |  G  |
It's either sadness or euphoria
(breaks) [Interlude] | D D/F# | Em7 G | F#m7 A | G | [Verse]
             D               D/F#
And so we'll argue and we'll compromise

    Em7          G              | D D/F# | Em7 G |
And realize that nothing's ever changed

            D        D/F#
For all our mutual experience

     Em7        G                | A    E | A   A#dim7 |
Our separate conclusions are the same
[Bridge]
[ A#dim7 ]   Bm/D           A/C#         G/B     G G/F#
  Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity

  Esus4     E                Asus4     A
A reason coexists with our insanity

          G                D/F#      Em7
And so we choose between reality and madness

            A           | G     C |  G  |
It's either sadness or euphoria
(breaks) [Solo] | D D/F# | Em7 G | F#m7 A | G | | D D/F# | Em7 G | A E | A A#dim7 | [Bridge]
    Bm               Asus4        G         G G/F#
How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies

  Esus4             E                 Asus4     A
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies

          G              D/F#          Em7
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives

           A           | G     C | G |
With our respective similarities
(break) (breaks)
            A           [ D ]
It's either sadness or euphoria
[Coda]
| D D/F# | Em7 G | F#m7 A | G |
                   Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

          | D D/F# | Em7 G | F#m7 A | G D/F# Em7 A | D
Oh, oh, oh, ooooh       Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
(ritardando)
