I woke up this morning, and what to my surprise
G A D
I opened up the paper just to read of my demise
G C G
There it was in bold-faced type, my body had been found
G D C D G
Come to think of it, I have been feeling just a bit run-down
C
But I'm not dead
G D/F# Em
No I'm not quite gone yet
G
Don't trust everything you hear
D
And half of what you've read
C
'Cause I'm alive
G D/F# Em
And I'm feeling fine
G D G
And I don't think that I'll go before my time
G C G
My mother called to sympathize with my now-widowed wife
G A D
And tell her that she'd try to help her get on with her life
G C G
When she heard the news that I was living after all
G D C D G
she said thank goodness - now please have him give his mom a call
C
But I'm not dead
G D/F# Em
No I'm not quite gone yet

'Cause I'm alive
G D/F# Em
And I'm feeling fine
G D G
And I don't think that I'll go before my time

I've been living carefully, and try to watch my back
G A D
Ever since that headline nearly gave me cardiac
G C G
The irony would be too much, don't want to take that chance
G D C D G
And I don't want people saying that they heard it in advance
C
But I'm not dead
G D/F# Em
No I'm not quite gone yet
G
The mafia, they tracked me down
D
And pumped me full of lead
C
But I'm alive

And I'm feeling fine

And I don't think that I'll go before my time
