[G]Other stuff[A]got in the [Em]way

[A]Worth a little laughter at the [G]plans of [A]men
Verse 2
If I go before
I hope you can laugh
At the funny ways
A life can be lived
Start in one direction
And get all turned around
But I hope I end up
With whatever life had to give
Chorus 2
Maybe something to believe in
Or maybe the mischevians
Will make my life a lesson for others
Cautionary tales passed on by their mothers
Verse 3
The world could use
More laughter
And if leaving helps
I guess I’ll go
Leave ‘em laughing
Some folks say
Before the closing curtains
Will end the show
Chorus 3
A tear or two will be okay
Needed for a good laugh anyway
Those laughs from deep down in your soul
Yeah…that’s the way I’ll want to go
Ending ½ Verse
When I’m gone
I hope you laugh
How you laugh well
That’ll be up to you
End on you with [D] [A] [D]
