The Grand Optimist Tab par City And Colour

(VERSE 1)

C Em                        Am
I fear I'm dying from complications
      C               Em                    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         
I'm like a jack of all trades
Em                Am
Who's a master of none

(VERSE 2)

C    Em         Am
Then there's my father
C           Em              Am
He's always looking on the bright side
C        Em                        Am
Saying things like "Son, life just ain't that hard."
C          Em    Am
He is the grand optimist
C        Em            Am
I am the world's poor pessimist
              C         Em
You give him burdensome times
                      Am
And he will escape unscarred

(CHORUS)

G                       Am
I guess I take after my mother (X 2)

(VERSE 3)

C  Em              Am
I used to be quite resilient
C          Em                                 Am
Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary 
C        Em                 Am
Now the wound has begun to turn
C       Em                  Am
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
C            Em                        Am
But this is not a cry for pity or for sympathy

(CHORUS)

G                       Am
I guess I take after my mother (X 4)
