Billy Joel - Summer, Highland Falls: chords

                F                Am
They say that these are not the best of times,
     Gm               A#               F  Gm A#
but they're the only times I've ever known,
         F                            A#
And I believe there is a time for meditation
                     C
in cathedrals of our own.
            Dm               C            A#
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's
          G                           C
eyes, and I can only stand apart and sympathize.
           A#               F          Gm
For we are always what our situations hand us,
             C          A#      D# A#
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
Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
Our reason coexists with our insanity
And though we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each others fantasies
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria

Whoa, whoa
