Verse
G D
How can you stand the silence
C D
That pervades when we all cry?
G D
How can you watch the violence
C G
That erupts before your eyes?
G D
How can you tell us something
C G
Just to keep us hanging on?
G D
Something that just don't mean nothing
C G
When we see it you are gone
C G
Clinging to some other rainbow
C G
While we're standing waiting in the cold
C G
Telling us the same old story
Em D
Knowing time is growing old
Chorus
D C G
That was a wonderful remark
D C G
I had my eyCes closed in the dark
C
I sighed a million sighs
G D C G
I told a million lies...to myself....to myself

verse 2
G D
How can we listen to you
C G
When we know your talk is cheap?
G D
How can we ever question
C G
Why we give more and you keep?
G D
How can your empty laughter
C G
Fill a room like ours with joy
G D
When you're only playing with us
C G
Like a child does with a toy?
C G
How can we ever feel the freedom
C G
Or the flame lit by the spark?
C G
How can we come out even
Em D
When reality is stark?
D C G
That was a wonderful remark
D C G
I had my eyes closed in the dark
C
I sighed a million sighs
G D C G
I told a million lies....to myself....to myself
