A much more simplified version:
[Intro]
F Am Gm Bb F Gm Bb
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
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
F Am Gm Bb F Gm Bb
