Wonderful Remark

[Intro]
F  C  A#  F  2x


[Verse]
F           C
How can you stand the silence
A#                  F
That pervades when we all cry
F           C
How can you watch the violence
A#             F
That erupts before your eyes
F           C
How can you tell us something
A#               F
Just to keep us hangin' on?
F                   C
Something that just don't mean nothing
A#               F
When we see it, you are gone


[Pre-Chorus]
A#                F
Clinging to some other rainbow
A#                             F
While we're standing, waiting in the cold
A#              F
Telling us the same old story
Dm              C
Knowing time is growing old


[Chorus]
C          A#           F
That was a wonderful remark
C        A#                  F
I had my eyes closed in the dark
A#
I sighed a million sighs
F                        C      A#     F
I told a million lies to myself, to myself


[Interlude]
C  A#  F  2x


[Verse]
F          C
How can we listen to you
A#                 F
When we know your talk is cheap?
F          C
How can we ever question
A#                        F
Why we give more and you keep?
F            C
How can your empty laughter
A#                F
Fill a room like ours with joy
F                C
When you're only playing with us
A#                 F
Like a child does with a toy


[Pre-Chorus]
A#               F
How can we ever feel the freedom
A#                F
Or the flame lit by the spark
A#               F
How can we ever come out even
Dm           C
When reality is stark


[Chorus]
C          A#           F
That was a wonderful remark
C        A#                  F
I had my eyes closed in the dark
A#
I sighed a million sighs
F                        C      A#     F
I told a million lies to myself, to myself


[Outro]
     C          A#     F
Baby, to myself, to myself
     C          A#     F
baby, to myself, to myself
   C      A#     F
to myself, to myself

C  A#  F  2x
