Wonderful Remark

[Intro]
D#  A#  G#  D#  2x


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


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


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


[Interlude]
A#  G#  D#  2x


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


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


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


[Outro]
     A#          G#     D#
Baby, to myself, to myself
     A#          G#     D#
baby, to myself, to myself
   A#      G#     D#
to myself, to myself

A#  G#  D#  2x
