Fall of the World's own Optimist/Aimee Mann
(capo up 1 fret)
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
[chorus]
[solo] Am E C G F Am Dm F Am G G7
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 Am7/G Bb E
yes, you'll have to ask politely
Am Am7/G Bb
yes, you'll have to ask
