 C                 C                   
  Here's a glue guy, a performance god,
 B                  B                
  a makeshift shrine, newly laid sod,
 F                  F               C C 
  hardly even trying, gives the nod.
 
 F           E    D               E     
 I sure hope I am not the type to dwell,
 F        E      D               E    
 hope I'm a fast healer, fast as hell.
 F      E    D            E                     
 Heaven is a better place today because of this.
 C       B     A               G    
 But the world is just not the same.
 
 B               C             D   C  
 If and when you get into that endzone
 B               C            E              F      
 act like you've been there a thousand times before.
 G                                             C                C 
 Don't blame. Don't say people lose people all the time anymore.
 
 C                             C                           B         
  A toonie to the busker and a husky 'keep it comin' under my breath,
     B                                   F    
 but then said, 'though, if you wouldn't mind,
 F                          C 
 less crying and more trying,
 C                            
 more trying and less crying'.
 
 F E D               E     
 I'm not the type to dwell.
 F     E    D      C       G    
 I'm a fast healer fast as hell.
 F      E    D            E                     
 Heaven is a better place today because of this,
 C   B         A               G    
 but the world is just not the same.
 
 B               C             D     C 
 If and when you get into that endzone
 B               C            E              F      
 act like you've been there a thousand times before.
 G                                                                 
 Don't blame and don't say people lose people all the time anymore.
