Optimist vs. The Silent Alarm (When the Saints Go Marching In) Chords & Lyrics by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Optimist vs. The Silent Alarm (When the Saints Go Marching In)
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: C
C
Oh there's skeletons of cigarettes and empty cans and bottles
Am
And we tear out of the parking lot, the engine at full throttle
C
You mapped a route with all right turns so lights don't get us caught
Am
We've got a mess of cash in duffel bags and every penny's hot
F
Well hallelujah
C
Well hallelujah
G F C
And we're laughing through the fear that we'll never make the clear
G F C
Oh and you've never looked so dear, it's the end of our career
C
We'll ditch the car in Wisconsin and hide out in the trees
Am
And I know a dude in Madison who owes some favors to me
C
With the money in the backseat, baby, we could buy a house
Am
And raise a little family on Shlitz and Mickey Mouse
F
Well hallelujah
C
Well hallelujah
G F C
And we're laughing through the fear that we'll never make the clear
G F C
Oh and you've never looked so dear, it's the end of our career
Outro: Follow the timing of the same chords as the song "When the Saints go
Marching In" but without the lyrics:
"C
Oh when the saints go marching in,
G
Oh when the saints go marching in,
C F
Lord, I want to be in that number
C G C
When the saints go marching in."
