| It's either | sadness or | euphoria |
| So we'll argue and we'll compromise |
| And realize that nothing's ever changed |
| For all our mutual experience |
| Out separate conclusions are the same. |

| Our reason coexists with our insanity |
| And though we choose between reality and madness |
| It's either sadness or euphoria |
| Dm | C | Bb+2 | F | |
| How | thoughtlessly we | dissipate our | energies |
| G7sus | G7 | Csus | C | |
| Per | haps we don't ful | fill each other's | fantasies |
| Bb | F | Gm7 | |
| And as we | stand upon the | ledges of our | lives |
| C | Bb+2 | Eb | Bb | |
| With our re | spective simi | larities |
| C | F | |
| It's either | sadness or | euphoria. |
