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
Bm              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
Bm           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
