Toxic Optimism   Rood /Connell


Am                            Em
I greeted my lovely children today
Am                      Em
I wanted to hear  what they had to say
Am                        Em
A big bight smile appeared on my face 
Am                            D
My Arms spread for a heavenly embrace 
Verse2
Am                         Em
 all of a sudden quiet filled the room
Am                         Em
 all of a sudden  toxic  optimism  bloomed
Am                       Em
Frown if you must not a pleasant look
Am               D            C           Em
Smile away as if lost  in a good book 
Chorus
C
I’m toxic with all my optimism 
 Em
 I’m toxic with  all  my lovely visions 
 
C
All these labels placed upon me 
D                             C     Em
, don’t know why, how could it be?

Verse3
Calming as you gently look to see

Toxic optimism lay right before  me

Can’t help my cheerful disposition 

Can’t help my cheerful optimism 
Verse 4
I read the sky and blue is blue

I read your smile no doubts of you

 Optimism is beautiful a state of mind

 optimism  peace and warmth you will find


Chorus
I’m toxic with my optimism 
 
 I’m toxic with my lovely vision
