They say that Fthese are not the Ambest of times, but Gmthey're the only Bbtimes I've ever Fknown,Gm  Bb  
And I beFlieve there is a time for meditaBbtion in cathedrals of our Cown.
Now I have Dmseen that sad surreCnder in my Bblover's eyes, and GI can only stand apart and Csympathize.
For we are Bbalways what our Fsituations Gmhand us, it's either Csadness or Bbeuphoria..Eb..Bb

[Verse 2]
And so we Fargue and we Amcompromise, and Gmrealize that nBbothing's ever chanFged,Gm  Bb  
For all our Fmutual experience, our Bbseparate conclusions are the Csame.
Now we are Dmforced to recoCgnize our inhuBbmanity, our rGeason co-exists with our insaCnity.
And though we Bbchoose between rFeality and Gmmadness, it's either Csadness or Bbeuphoria.Eb...Bb

And so we'll Bbstand upon the Fledges of our Gmlives, with our Crespective BbsimilaritiesEb,Bb  
It's either Csadness or Feuphoria....

A much more simplified version:

[Intro]

F Am Gm Bb F Gm Bb

[Verse 1]

F Am Gm Bb F Gm Bb

They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known,

F Bb C

And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.

Dm C Bb G C

Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes, and I can only stand apart and sympathize.

Bb F Gm C Bb Eb Bb

For we are always what our situations hand us, it's either sadness or euphoria....

F Am Gm Bb F Gm Bb

[Verse 2]

F Am Gm Bb F Gm Bb

And so we argue and we compromise, and realize that nothing's ever changed,

F Bb C

For all our mutual experience, our separate conclusions are the same.

Dm C Bb G C

Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity, our reason co-exists with our insanity.

Bb F Gm C Bb Eb Bb

And though we choose between reality and madness, it's either sadness or euphoria....

F Am Gm Bb F Gm Bb

[Verse 3]

Dm C Bb G C

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies, perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies?

Bb F Gm C Bb Eb Bb

And so we'll stand upon the ledges of our lives, with our respective similarities,

C F

It's either sadness or euphoria....

F Am Gm Bb F Gm Bb
