Fall of the World s own Optimist/Aimee Mann
(capo up 1 fret)
There s no charity in you and that surprises me
I guess I thought you were a golden idol cause I called you majesty
On the balustrade you watched me hunt for
Tips I was obliged to pick up from the passing trade
Hey, kids--look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist
I could get back up if you insist but you ll have to ask politely
Cause the eggshells I ve been treading couldn t spare me a beheading
And I ll know I had it coming from a Caesar who was only slumming
Hey, kids--look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist
Well, I could have objections which you could override
But what s the point--we re only flogging the horse
When the horseman has up and died
Once I testified and swore I d never leave a stone unturned
I bet you re really glad that I lied
[chorus]
[solo]
Hey, kids--look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist
I could get back up if you insist but you ll have to ask politely
yes, you ll have to ask politely
yes, you ll have to ask
