Wonderful Remark

[Intro]
B  F#  E  B  2x


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


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


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


[Interlude]
F#  E  B  2x


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


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


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


[Outro]
     F#          E     B
Baby, to myself, to myself
     F#          E     B
baby, to myself, to myself
   F#      E     B
to myself, to myself

F#  E  B  2x
