As recorded by John Hiatt (From the 2014 Album TERMS OF MY SURRENDER) [Intro] E [Verse 1]
E
Old people are pushy

                         A
They don't have much time

                            E
They'll shove you at the coffee shop

                            B7
Cut ahead in the buffet line

            E
They'll buy two for a dollar and fifty

                                     A
Then they'll argue with the checkout girl

                        E
They've lived so much behind them

E
They're tryin' to slow down this god damn world
[Chorus]
E                A
Old people are pushy

                  E
Well, they're not mushy

                 B7                   E
Old people are pushy cause life ain't cushy
[Verse 2]
E
Old people are pushy

                               A
They'll drive how they want to drive

                            E
And go as slow as they want to

                           B7
They don't care who stays alive

            E
And they'll kiss that little grand baby

                              E7        A
Up and down the back and all around the front

                               E
They don't care what you think of them

     A            B7                  E
That baby has got something that they want
[Chorus]
E              A
Old people are pushy

                  E
Well, they're not mushy

                 B7                   E
Old people are pushy cause life ain't cushy

 E7             A                  E
(Old people are pushy, they aren't mushy)

                B7                     E
(Old people are pushy cause life ain't cushy)
[Verse 3]
E                                                   A
Old people are pushy, cause you don't know how they feel

                     E
And when you pretend you do

                         B7
Well, they know it's not real

            E
Pretty soon it's gonna be all over

                          E7      A
Good enough reason not to let you pass

                      E
They seem like sweet, little old people

    A             B7                E
But they are not about to kiss your ass
[Out-Chorus]
E              A                       E
Old people are pushy, well they're not mushy

               B7                     E
Old people are pushy cause life ain't cushy

               A
Old people are pushy, (old people are pushy)

               E
Old people are pushy, (old people are pushy)

               B7
Old people are pushy, (old people are pushy)

                   E
Cause life ain't cushy

    E7         A
Old people are pushy

               E
Old people are pushy

               B7
Old people are pushy

                 E
Cause life ain't cushy
