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
