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

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

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
And so we'll stand upon the ledges of our lives, with our respective similarities, 
            C          F
It's either sadness or euphoria....
