Chorus:

  D         G             Em7        A
  18 'til I die, gonna be 18 'til I die. 
           D                  G
  Yeah, it sure feels good to be alive,
  Em7                        A
  Someday I'll be 18 going on 55.
  D         G       A
  18 'til I die.


Verse 3: (same as verse 1)

  Anyway, I just wanna say
  Why bother with what happened yesterday?
  It's not my style, I live for the minute;
  If ya wanna stay young, get both feet in it.
  18 'til I die.


Verse 4: (same as verse 2)

  A little bit of this, a little bit of that;
  A little bit of everything, gotta get on track.
  It's not how you look, it's what ya feel inside
  I don't care when, I don't need to know why.


Chorus:(same as before-different ending)
 
    D         G             A   
 ...18 'til I die.  There's one thing for sure,

    I'm sure gonna try.

        G                       E
  We're gonna have a ball, yeah, we're gonna have a blast.
  A                     E           Em   E  
    Gonna make it last.     Hey,            yeah.
