The Grand Optimist - Ver 2

C Em Am C Em Am C G Am I fear I'm dying of complications C G Am Complications due to things that I've left undone C Em That all my debts will be left unpaid Am Feel like a cripple without a cane C G I'm like a jack of all trades Am Who's a master of none C G Then there's my father Am He's always looking on the bright side C G Am Saying things like "son life just ain't that hard" C Em He is the grand optimist Am I am the world's poor pessimist C G You give him buttons sometimes Am And he will escape unscarred Pre-Chorus/Chorus G Am I guess I take after my mother 2x I used to be quite resilient Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary Now the wound has begun to turn Another lesson that has gone unlearned But this is not a cry for pitty or for sympathy I guess I take after my mother 2x
