Summer Highland Falls by Billy Joel adapted for guitar.  The original is in
F major, so tune down each string a whole step if you really want to be
authentic.  Note:  I didn't line lyrics up exactly with beats... just lined
them up with the correct measures.

    euphoria


------------------
Verse 2:
------------------

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

------------------
Verse 3:
------------------

(Instrumental)
How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
And we stand upon the ledges of our lives,
With our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria   (repeat chords of previous line)
