Verse 1
[G]How can you stand the [D]silence
That pervades when we [C]all cry?
[G]How can you watch the [D]violence
That erupts before your [C]eyes?
[G]How can you tell us [D]something
Just to keep us [C]hanging on?
[G]Something that just don't mean [D]nothing
When we see it you are [C]gone
Clinging to some other [G]rainbow
While we're standing waiting in the [C]cold
Telling us the same old [G]story
Knowing [C]time is growing [G]old
Chorus
That was a [D]wonderful [C]remark
[D]I had my eyes closed [C]in the [G]dark
[C]I sighed a million [G]sighs
[G]I told a million [D]lies... [C]to myself... [G]to myself
Verse 2
[G]How can we listen to [D]you
When we know your talk is [C]cheap?
[G]How can we ever [D]question
Why we give more and you [C]keep?
[G]How can your empty [D]laughter
Fill a room like ours with [C]joy
[G]When you're only playing with [D]us
Like a child does with a [C]toy?
How can we ever feel the [D]freedom
Or the flame lit by the [C]spark?
How can we come out [G]even
When [C]reality is [G]stark?
Chorus
That was a [D]wonderful [C]remark
[D]I had my eyes closed [C]in the [G]dark
[C]I sighed a million [G]sighs
[G]I told a million [D]lies... [C]to myself... [G]to myself
