Van Morrison – Wonderful Remark (Guitar)

G            D
How can you stand the silence

C                  G
That pervades when we all cry?

G            D
How can you watch the violence

C              G
That erupts before your eyes?

G            D
How can you tell us something

C                G
Just to keep us hanging on?

G                    D
Something that just don't mean nothing

C                   G
When we see it you are gone

C                  G
Clinging to some other rainbow

C                            G
While we're standing waiting in the cold

C               G
Telling us the same old story

Em                 D
Knowing time is growing old

 D           C         G
That was a wonderful remark

D         C                   G
I had my eyCes closed in the dark

C
I sighed a million sighs

G                           D        C   G
I told a million lies...to myself....to myself

G            D
How can we listen to you

 C                 G
When we know your talk is cheap?

G           D
How can we ever question

C                 G
Why we give more and you keep?

G                   D
How can your empty laughter

 C                 G
Fill a room like ours with joy

G                  D
When you're only playing with us

C                  G
Like a child does with a toy?

C                G
How can we ever feel the freedom

C                G
Or the flame lit by the spark?

C           G
How can we come out even

Em            D
When reality is stark?

D           C           G
That was a wonderful remark

D         C                  G
I had my eyes closed in the dark

C
I sighed a million sighs

G                           D         C   G
I told a million lies....to myself....to myself
