Wonderful Remark Chords & Lyrics - Van Morrison

[VERSE]
[G]How can you s[D]tand the silence
[C]That pervades when [G]we all cry?
[G]How can you w[D]atch the violence
[C]That erupts bef[G]ore your eyes?
[G]How can you t[D]ell us something
[C]Just to keep us h[G]anging on?
[G]Something that just d[D]on't mean nothing
[C]When we see it you a[G]re gone
[C]Clinging to some ot[G]her rainbow
[C]While we're standing waiting [G]in the cold
[C]Telling us the s[G]ame old story
[Em]Knowing time is gro[D]wing old

[CHORUS]
T[D]hat was a wo[C]nderful re[G]mark
[D]I had my e[C]yCes closed in the d[G]ark
[C]I sighed a million sighs
[G]I told a million lies...to m[D]yself....[C]to m[G]yself

[VERSE 2]
[G]How can we li[D]sten to you
W[C]hen we know your t[G]alk is cheap?
[G]How can we e[D]ver question
[C]Why we give more a[G]nd you keep?
[G]How can your empty l[D]aughter
F[C]ill a room like ou[G]rs with joy
[G]When you're only pl[D]aying with us
[C]Like a child does w[G]ith a toy?
[C]How can we ever f[G]eel the freedom
[C]Or the flame lit [G]by the spark?
[C]How can we c[G]ome out even
[Em]When reality i[D]s stark?

[D]That was a w[C]onderful rem[G]ark
[D]I had my e[C]yes closed in the d[G]ark
[C]I sighed a million sighs
[G]I told a million lies....to [D]myself....[C]to m[G]yself
