Wonderful Remark
Van Morrison
G D
How can you stand the silence
C G
That pervades when we all cry
G D
How can you watch the violence
C G
That erupts before your eyes
G D
You can't even grab a hold on
C G
When we're hanging oh so loose
G D
You don't even listen to us
C G
When we talk it ain't no use
C G
Leave your thoughtlessness behind you
C G
Then you may begin to understand
C G
Clear the emptiness around you
Em D
With the waving of your hand
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
D C G D C G
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
G D
Now, how can we listen to you
C G
When we know that your talk is cheap
G D
How can we never 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 ever 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
D C G D C G
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
G D
Listen, how can you tell us something
C G
Just to keep us hanging on, yeah
G D
Something that just don't mean nothin'
C G
When we see you, you are gone
G D
Clinging to some other rainbow
C G
While we're standing waiting outside in the cold
G D
Telling us the same sad story
C G
Knowing time is growing old
C G
Touch your world up with some colour
C G
Dream you're swinging on a star
C G
Taste it first then add some flavour
Em D
Now you know just who you are
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
D C G D C G
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Wonderful remark
And that...
D C G
That was a wonderful remark, yes it was, right on
D C G
I had my eyes closed in the dark, right on
C
I sighed a million sighs
G D C G
I told a million lies to myself, alright, to myself
D C G D C G
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Right on, right on
Oh, oh, oh, oh, cut loose
Cut loose, cut loose
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Was it Terry Anderson who told "This song kept me up" after being freed from hostage?
