Burning With Optimisms Flames chords by XTC

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
C majorC
Never seen her glowing
C majorC
All that bright she's throwing
C majorC
like some aurora, From her head, it's growing
G minorGm
Reaching to the ground and all around like a Navajo blanket

C majorC
Never heard her singing
C majorC
Now she's gently ringing
C majorC
like copper wind chimes, what on earth is bringing
G minorGm
up this stream? The cat who got the cream is licking her lips

And smiling like her Cheshire cousin

Pre-Chorus:
Bb majorBb        FF              Bb majorBb
She claims she's found a way to make her own light
       FF           C majorC
All you do is smile, you banish the night


Chorus:
C majorC       G+G      FF
She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away, away
C majorC       G+G      FF
She says she's burning up all her guilts and shames, away, away
C majorC       G+G      FF
She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away, away
C majorC       B minorBm
She says she's burn-burn-burn-burn-burning up-up-up-up-up
B minorBm
burn-burn-burn-burn-burning up-up-up-up-up


Verse 2:
C majorC
Now you see I'm smiling
C majorC
Back to juveniling
C majorC
I learnt her lesson, in like flint and styling
G minorGm
All the world is neatly curled, Around my littlest finger

C majorC
I can't stop this grinning
C majorC
So assume I'm winning
C majorC
Threw pessimism in the air, it's spinning
G minorGm
Crashing to the floor and nevermore will it lure me away

With sweets and shiny things just like a magpie

Pre-Chorus:
Bb majorBb        FF              Bb majorBb
She claims she's found a way to make her own light
       FF           C majorC
All you do is smile, you banish the night

Now every bird and bee, just fuel the fire for me

Bb majorBb
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

Now every closing door just fan the flames some more
Bb majorBb
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah
