Aimee Mann – Fall Of The Worlds Own Optimist (Guitar)

C           C/Bb              Am        Am/G#
There's no charity in you and that surprises me

C                                   Am           E
I guess I thought you were a golden idol cause I called you majesty

Am       G            Am                         
On the balustrade you watched me hunt for 

D                                    D7
Tips I was obliged to pick up from the passing trade

C             F                  Am           Am7           D7
Hey, kids--look at this it's the fall of the world's own optimist

C                             F                        Am    Am7/G  Bb E
I could get back up if you insist but you'll have to ask politely

               Am                      E                      C                 G
Cause the eggshells I've been treading couldn't spare me a beheading 

         F      Am     Dm            F        Am        G      G7
And I'll know I had it coming from a Caesar who was only slumming

C     Bb     F                   Am         D/F#           F    C
Hey, kids--look at this it's the fall of the world's own optimist

C             C/Bb              Am        Am/G#
Well, I could have objections which you could override

C                                           D/F#                 
But what's the point--we're only flogging the horse 

               E                 E7
When the horseman has up and died

Am       G                Am                D
Once I testified and swore I'd never leave a stone unturned

  D7
I bet you're really glad that I lied

C          F                         Am           Am7           D7
