They say that ^Dthese are not the ^D/F#best of times Em7 G | D D/F# | Em7 G | But they're the only times I've ever known And I be^Dlieve there is a ^D/F#time for medi^Em7tation G | A E | A A#dim7 | In cathedrals of our own

[Bridge]

Now I have seen th^Bm/Dat sad surrender ^A/C#in my lovers'^G/B eyes ^G ^G/F# And ^Esus4I can only ^Estand apart and s^Asus4ympathize ^A For we are ^Galways what our ^D/F#situations ^Em7hand us A | G C | G | It's either sadness or euphoria (breaks)

[Interlude] | D D/F# | Em7 G | F#m7 A | G | [Verse]

And so we'll ^Dargue and we'll ^D/F#compromise Em7 G | D D/F# | Em7 G | And realize that nothing's ever changed For all our ^Dmutual ex^D/F#perience Em7 G | A E | A A#dim7 | Our separate conclusions are the same

[Bridge]

Now we are forced ^Bm/Dto recognize ou^A/C#r inhumanity ^G/B ^G ^G/F# A ^Esus4reason coe^Exists with our in^Asus4sanity ^A And so we ^Gchoose between re^D/F#ality and ^Em7madness 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]

How ^Bmthoughtlessly we ^Asus4dissipate our^G energies ^G ^G/F# Pe^Esus4rhaps we don't ful^Efill each other's ^Asus4fantasies ^A And as we ^Gstand upon the ^D/F#ledges of our ^Em7lives 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)
