Wonderful Remark

[Intro]
C  G  F  C  2x


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


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


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


[Interlude]
G  F  C  2x


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


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


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


[Outro]
     G          F     C
Baby, to myself, to myself
     G          F     C
baby, to myself, to myself
   G      F     C
to myself, to myself

G  F  C  2x
