Optimist

 
Am                                    C 
I am an optimist, dream a lot, I make long lists 
   D 
And sometimes, I pull em off 
Am                                              C 
He is a pragmatist, looks at the world just the way it is 
       D                      Am 
Doesn't waste time getting distraught 
 

 
  C            Am           C            Am 
I never had considered it's fine that we differ 
D                        Am 
No need to act under the gun 
   C           Am      C                 Am 
We sat down to dinner, shared a glass of liquor 
D 
Easy to take a side when you only know one

Met a stranger who expressed, might go right, might go left 
 D                       Am 
I wait for him to give a sign

Opinions I don't recognize, nuanced, weathered, and wise

He makes up his own mind
