Old People Chords by John Hiatt

[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

Then they'll argue with 
             A
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    
Old people are pushy 
                 E 
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

Up and down the back 
         E7        A
and all around the front
                               E
They don't care what you think of them
     A            B7     
That baby has got something 
          E
that they want
 
 
[Chorus]
E              A
Old people are pushy
                  E
Well, they're not mushy
                 B7
Old people are pushy 
                 E
cause life ain't cushy
 E7             A      
(Old people are pushy, 
            E
they aren't mushy)
                B7    
(Old people are pushy 
                 E 
cause life ain't cushy)
 
 
[Verse 3]
E                     
Old people are pushy, 
                      
cause you don't know 
         A
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

Good enough reason not 
   E7      A
to let you pass
                    
They seem like sweet, 
E
little old people
    A             B7   
But they are not about 
             E
to kiss your a*s
 
 
[Out-Chorus]

E              A
Old people are pushy, 
                 E
well they're not mushy
               B7      
Old people are pushy 
                 E
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
