Comments : I hope that this transcription comes pretty close to the original
recording. The D/A Chord can be also played as a Bm7/A Chord on the piano.
But to make the song easier you can also go on and play a standard A Chord
instead of the D/A Chord. Doesn't sound much different, but is quite a lot
easier to play.

Outro : | Em - - - | Em - - - |Em - - - | Em -> Upstroke |
Comments :
If you play this song on a guitar only, then you should better play a standard
G7 instead of the G7/D chord, because it's easier to play and sounds better this
way, even though in the original recording the bass is playing a D at this part.

Additional Tabulature :
Even though this is a piano song, you can do a nice fingerpicking on the guitar
on it to make it sound like the original recording. This is what I figured out
to make it sound the best for me :
The Em parts can be played like the following. The piano melody is built into
this picking :
e |-0-------0-3-0---5-------7-------|-0-------0-3-0---5-------3-------|
b |-0---0---0-0-0---0---0---0---0---|-0---0---0-0-0---0---0---0---0---|
g |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
D |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
A |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
E |-0---------------0---------------|-0---------------0---------------|
Em Em
Play this two times during the Intro and repeat it through the Fills and the
Outro.
The fingerpicking through the rest of the song could be something like this :
e |-----------------0---------------|---------------------------------|
b |-0-------0-------0-------0-------|-0-------0-------4-------4-------|
g |-0-------0---------------0-------|-2-------2-------4-------4-------|
D |-----2-------2---------------2---|-----1---------------4-----------|
A |-3-------------------3-----------|-2-----------2---2-----------2---|
E |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
Cmaj7 B7 B
Rain on the roof Time on my hands
Continue this type of fingerpicking throughout the rest of the song

Pushing Up Daisies
E A E B E
Vs. 1
E A E
Sometimes I tell you the way that I feel,
E B A
I swear that I'm goin' crazy,
E A E
Keep tellin' myself it aint that big a deal,
E B E
It's better than pushin' up daisies,
Vs. 2
E A E
I felt the arrow from deaths fatal quiver,
E B E
Come so close it actually grazed me,
E
A E
I've bled the blood and I've felt the cold shiver,
E B E
God only knows how he saved me,
Chours
A E
There's two dates in time that they'll carve on your stone,
A B
And everyone knows what they mean,
A E
But whats more important is the time that is spent,
A B E
in that little dash there in between,
A B E
That little dash there in between.
Vs. 3
Sometimes my heart is as true as a dove,
Sometimes my heart it betrays me,
So I draw my sword for to fight for my love,
But without a whisper she saves me,
Vs. 4
My mother died but somehow she keeps living,
She'll never cease to amaze me,
Now dad turns his back on each day that he's given
Cause he'd rather be pushin up daisies.
Repeat chours untill you get tired of it.

When You Come Back To Me Again
C Am
There's a ship out on the ocean
F G
At the mercy of the sea
C
It's been tossed about
Am
Lost and broken
F G
wandering aimlessly
Bb Am G
And god somehow you know that ship is me
C Am
'Cause there's a lighthouse in a harbor
F G
Shining faithfully
C
Pouring its light out
Am
Across the water
F G
Where this sinking soul can see
Bb Am G
That someone out there still believes in me
C
On a prayer
Am
In a song
F
I hear your voice
Dm G
And it keeps me hanging on
C
Raining down
Am
Against the wind
F
I'm reaching out
Dm
'Til we reach the circle's edge
G C
When you come back to me again
C Am
There's a moment that we all come to
F
In our own time
G
And our own space
C
Where all that we've done
Am
We can undo
F G
If our heart's in the right place
C
On a prayer
Am
In a song
F
I hear your voice
Dm G
And it keeps me hanging on
C
Raining down
Am
Against the wind
F
I'm reaching out
Dm
'Til we reach the circle's edge
G F
And you come back to me again
C
And again I see
Dm G
My yesterday's in front of me
F C
Unfolding like a mystery
F G
You're changing all that is and used to be
D
On a prayer
Bm
In a song
G
I hear your voice
Em A
And it keeps me hanging on
D
Raining down
Bm
Against the wind
G
I'm reaching out
Em
'Til we reach the circle's edge
A D
When you come back to me again
A D
When you come back to me again
