The Grand Optimist Lyrics
I haven't uploaded any tabs before so this is my first one but it sounds just about spot on.
This song is from Dallas Green's new album and it's absolutely amazing. I'm not entirely
sure about chord names but they're written down there.

Intro: C Em Am C Em Am
Verse:
I fear I'm dying of complications
Complications due to things that I've left undone
That all my debts will be left unpaid
Feel like a cripple without a cane
I'm like a jack of all trades
Who's a master of none
Verse 2:
Then there's my father
He's always looking on the bright side
Saying things like "son life just ain't that hard"
He is the grand optimist
I am the world's poor pessimist
You give him buttons sometimes
And he will escape unscarred
Pre-Chorus/Chorus:
I guess I take after my mother x2
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 x2
