[Intro] E Esus4 E Esus4 [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

          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.
[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.
[Chorus 2]
A                        E
And everything is comin' up roses

               A                                B
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.

{Bkgd vox: La la la-la la    La la la-la la

          B                 E
            Oh----------    Whoa.}
[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

         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.
[Outro]
E
Every day ----- buy the dozen ----- every day ----- hey, hey.
