Wonderful Remark

[Intro]
E  B  A  E  2x


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


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


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


[Interlude]
B  A  E  2x


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


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


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


[Outro]
     B          A     E
Baby, to myself, to myself
     B          A     E
baby, to myself, to myself
   B      A     E
to myself, to myself

B  A  E  2x
