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
