Hey, kids--look at this it's the fall of the world's own optimist
C F Am Am7/G Bb EI could get back up if you insist but you'll have to ask politely

F Am Dm F Am G G7And I'll know I had it coming from a Caesar who was only slumming

C C/Bb Am Am/G#

C F Am Am7 D7
Hey, kids--look at this it's the fall of the world's own optimist

Am Am7/G Bbyes, you'll have to ask
