Collapsible Plans by Tom Freund

This is a great song.

No capo, Standard tuning.  There are some hammer-ons but you can listen to
the song and they are pretty easy to pick up.  This is my first tab, I'm
pretty sure everything is right except for the bridge.  I'm also not sure
about the quicker picking parts that are in there.

Verse 1

threw it all into a bag

called up my wife

said this could be the last day

of the rest of my life

Chorus
                         
sugar don't get no sweeter than this i know
                             
i've been at this thing a long long time
                       
stay with me in heaven promise me that
                           
i don't wanna be a grown man cryin'
                           
i don't wanna be a grown man cryin'

Verse 2 (Repeat pattern from verse 1)
The sky was rainin'
everyone was complainin'
seems no one trusts the weatherman anyway
this name tag tied to my suitcase is all that i have left
i could be gone in a second without even a trace

Chorus
                         
sugar don't get no sweeter than this i know
                             
i've been at this thing a long long time
                       
stay with me in heaven promise me that
                           
i don't wanna be a grown man cryin'
                           
i don't wanna be a grown man cryin'

Bridge
                    
life is what happens when you're busy making other plans
                  
said a hero of mine who died way before his time
                      
he got shot for signing an autograph from one of his biggest fans
                              
how's that for collapsible plaaa-aans . . .

Verse 3

think i'll head back home a day early

i'm not one much for long goodbye's

walk me to the ferry under your umbrella

and we'll kiss in the puddles in the sky

we'll kiss in the puddles in the sky . . .

Chorus (same as above)
sugar don't get no sweeter than this i know
i've been at this thing a long long time
stay with me in heaven promise me that
i don't wanna be a grown man cryin'
(repeat and fade)
