              F                 Fmaj7
They say that these are not the best of times

    Gm7                Bb+2               F  Fmaj7  Gm7  Bb+2
But they're the only times I've ever known

        F                Fmaj7         Gm7
And I believe there is a time for meditation

     Bb+2               C  G C
In cathedrals of our own

A7       Dm               C            Bb+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

           Bb              F            Gm7
For we are always what our situations hand us

            C         Bb+2     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             Bb+2    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            Bb+2    Eb  Bb
With our respective similarities

            C         F       
It's either sadness or euphoria.
