D G D
Sometimes I tell you the way that I'm feel
A D
I think that I'm going crazy
D G D
Gotta tell myself man it ain't that big a deal
A D
It's better than pushing up daisies
G D
I slip and stumble and roll down the hill
A D
Trying to impress the ladies
G D
Once played the fool I guess I always will
A D
It's better than pushing up daisies

D G D
I walk a high wire with no safety net
D A D
God only knows what saves me
G D
All that I know is it ain't over yet
A D
Not till I'm pushing up daisies
D G D
I've seen the arrows of death little quiver
A D
Come so close they actually grazed me
G D
I've seen the blood and I've felt the cold shiver
A D
Still I ain't pushing up daisies
G D
Standing here leaning on my windowsill
G D A
Dreaming of a sky so blue
G D
Pushing up daisies out there on the hill
D A
It's the last thing that I'll ever do
*
D G D
Sometimes my heart is as true as a child
A D
Sometimes my heart it betrays me
G D
Breaks right in two every once in a while
D A D
But it's better than pushing up daisies
G D
Standing here leaning on my windowsill
G D A
Dreaming of a sky so blue
G D
Pushing up daisies out there on the hill
D A
It's the last thing that I'll ever do
