[C#m]
You [A] [D] [E] [C#m]
[A] [D] [E] know you did everything [A] right You [D] [A] tried to be [C#m] dependable every [A] time
[Em] So it's hard [E] to [G] understand why You're the one who [Em] should find
You caught me [D] asleep at night [F#] And beneath [F#m] by the thaw
[A] [D]
That you may have [C#m] been mistaken all along [Em] While you wait, [E] you wait and [G] wait for a call
But the phone, it doesn't cry [D] From its cradle at all, [G]
at [D] all, at all
It would be something [Bm] else
If somehow [F#] after [Em] this you could [Bm] still call [Gm] yourself
The Great [D] Optimist
[C#m] [A]
[D] So you find [C#m] somewhere to be
[D] [Bm] Where you don't [A] feel you're caught in between
And [Em] where you won't get crushed by the [G] count of weight
That's gonna buckle [Em] under the strain [D] of all your disbelief
When light comes [C#m] through the [A] leaves
[D] [E] Like bandits [C#m] shooting at your [A] feet
[Em] And indeed, [E] there's honor among [G] thieves
But good guys [Em] always win
You [A] say, [D] eventually
[G] Eventually
[D] Eventually
[A] [D]
It would be something else

[G] something else
[Bm]
[F#] You could [Bm] still call [Gm] yourself
