E
This life is filled with wonder
This life is full of days not spent
I cannot help but ponder
         B                E
Just what relevance that lends.
Chorus:
A                        E 
Everything is comin' up roses
          A                                B
When I'm pushin' up daisies, they'll want roses anyway
         E                       A
Oh, and everything is comin' up roses
                B             E
It's comin' up roses every day.
Got a heart bent on confusion
I'm punch-drunk straight half the time
Feeling watered down and diluted
Still this weather's holding fine.
(Repeat Chorus)
(SOLO over Chorus changes)
There's a piece of land in Kentucky
My grandfather worked one long hot day
Now it's a flatland blacktop strip mall
Still I remember what he'd say.
Chorus 2:
          A                        E
He'd say "Everything is comin' up roses, kid
              A                                B
And when I'm pushin' up daisies, they'll want roses anyway"
         E                       A
Oh, and everything is comin' up roses
                B             E
It's comin' up roses every day.
      A                         E
Yeah, everything is comin' up roses
              A                                B    /  /
And when I'm pushin' up daisies, they'll want roses anyway
         E                       A
Oh, and everything is comin' up roses
           B             E
Comin' up roses every day.
(E)
Every day ----- buy the dozen ----- every day ----- hey, hey.
