Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][F#m][Em][G]
[F#m][A][G][G]
[D][F#m][Em][G]
[F#m][A][G][G]

[Verse 1]
They say that [D]these are not the [F#m]best of times
But [Em]they’re the only [G]times I’ve ever [D]known
[F#m][Em][G]
And I be[D]lieve there is a [F#m]time for meditat[Em]ion
In ca[G]thedrals of our [A]own
[A][E][A]
[Bbdim]Now I have

[Chorus 1]
[Bm]seen that sad sur[D]render
in my [G]lover’s [D]eyes
And [E]I can only s[E]tand
apart and [A]sympathize
For we are [G]always
what our [D]situations hand [Em]us
It’s either [A]sadness [G]or [C]euphoria[G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][F#m][Em][G]
[F#m][A][G]

[Verse 2]
So we’ll [D]argue and we’ll [F#m]compromise
And [Em]realize that [G]nothing’s ever [D]changed
[F#m][Em][G]
For all [D]our mutual ex[F#m]perience
[Em]Our separate con[G]clusions are
the [A]same[E][A]
[Bbdim]Now we are

[Chorus 2]
[Bm]forced
to recog[D]nize our inhu[G]manity
[D]A r[E]eason coexi[E]sts with our ins[A]anity
And though we [G]choose
between re[D]ality and [Em]madness
It’s either [A]sadness [G]or [C]euphoria[G]

[Interlude 2]
[D][F#m][Em][G]
[F#m][A][G]
[D][F#m][Em][G]
[A][E][A]
[Bbdim]How

[Chorus 3]
[Bm]thoughtlessly
we [D]dissipate our [G]energies
[D]Perhap[E]s we don’t fulfil[E]l
each other’s [A]fantasies
And as we [G]stand upon
the [D]ledges of our [Em]lives
With our [A]respective simi[G]larities[C][G]
It’s either [A]sadness or

[Outro 1]
[D](eu[F#m]phoria)[Em][G]
[F#m]Oh…[A][G]
[D][F#m][Em][G]
[F#m][A][G]
[Repeat and fade]
