A           E         A
I wanna be young the rest of my life;
E                  A
Never say no, try anything twice.
         E               A
'Til the angels come and ask me to fly,
          E   A
Gonna be 18 'til I die.
18 'til I die!

E                  B        A              D
Can't live forever, that's wishful thinkin'.
E                B A                 D
Whoever said that   must have been drinkin'.
E                   B   A
Don't wanna grow up. I don't see why.
G                             A
I couldn't care less if time flies by.

Chorus:
D          G           Em7         A
18 'til I die, gonna be 18 'til I die.
          D                  Dsus4
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.

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

A little bit of this - A little bit of that
A little bit of everything - Gotta get on track
It's not how ya look - It's what ya feel inside
I don't care when - I don't need to know why

Chorus

         A                                 Asus4 A D
There is one thing for sure, I'm sure gonna try
I'm sure gonna try.

            Em7                         F#m
Yeah, don't worry about the future, forget about the past;
       G                             E                 A
We're gonna have a ball, yeah, we're gonna have a blast
                  E
Gonna make it last.
Hey, yeah

Chorus:
18 'til I die - Gonna be 18 'til I die
Yeah - It sure feels good to be alive
Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55 - 18 'til I die
Gonna be - 18 'til I die - All right!
I'm gonna be 18' til I die
