The Optimist

Slow strumming the whole way through...really easy to play!!

Verse 1:

Wine bottle why are you weary?
                      
And why are my eyes so grey?

Semi-circle people are pointing
                     
And staring up to the sky

Chorus:
        
And the dogs are all gone
       
And my muesli is mouldy
                                        
And the saints they are sinners in their songs
                                   
And the crickets they call to their rusted rainbow
                                             
I swear if you listen you might just hear our song

Verse 2:

TV light flickers so fiercely
                           
Bridging the gap between my eyes

Outside the rain is tapping my window
                               
A jet trail left hanging in the sky

Chorus:
                           
And the puddles reflect the sky in the morning
                                  
Then the pavements lead to another place
     
With one ear to the west
         
And then ocean beside me
                                             
I swear if you listen you could just hear our song
                                             
Electric sensations will not stay with us for long
