Standard (EADGBE)

(The above notes are the finger positions of the first and the

second strings)

  I wanna be young the rest of my life;

  Never say no, try anything twice.

  'Til the angels come and ask me to fly,

  Gonna be 18 till I die

18 'til I die!

Verse 2

  Can't live forever, that's wishful thinkin'.

  Whoever said that must have been drinkin'.

  Don't wanna grow up. I don't see why.

  I couldn't care less if time flies by.

Chorus

  18 'til I die, gonna be 18 'til I die.

  Yeah, it sure feels good to be alive,

  Someday I'll be 18 going on 55.

  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)

  ...18 'til I die. There's one thing for sure,

I'm sure gonna try.

ENDING:

Yeah don't worry about the future, forget about the past;

We're gonna have a ball, yeah, we're gonna have a blast.

Gonna make it last. Hey, yeah.
