Verse 1:
E
This life is filled with wonder
E
This life is full of days not spent
E
I cannot help but ponder
         B                E
Just what relevance that lends.

Chorus 1:
A                        E
Everything is comin' up roses

When I'm pushin' up daisies, they'll want roses anyway

Oh, and everything is comin' up roses
                B             E
It's comin' up roses every day.

Verse 2:
E
Got a heart bent on confusion
E
I'm punch-drunk straight half the time
E
Feeling watered down and diluted
          B                    E
Still this weather's holding fine.

Ooh, 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.

Verse 3:
          E
There's a piece of land in Kentucky
    E
My grandfather worked one long hot day
           E
Now it's a flatland blacktop strip mall
          B
Still I remember what he'd say.

Chorus 3:
          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

Oh, and everything is comin' up roses
                B             E
It's comin' up roses every day."

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

Comin' up roses every day.
