G
Well it's no good to smoke and it's no good to drink

G
What the hell you're doing boy don't you never ever think

            C
Well you're killing yourself man and you're just a kid

       G
So you better slow down or you wish that you did

D                      C
Maybe I'll only last a year and a day, but

N.C.                           G
How long you wanna live anyway

[Verse 2]

G
Well I just don't care and I just can't be bothered

G
Well I'm sick of taking crap from my mother and my father

         C
Well I'm looking real cool my hair all grease

           G
Well there ain't no way I'm gonna live like a priest

D                      C
Maybe I'll only last a year and a day, but

How long you wanna live anyway

G
Well you're growing old man and you ain't having no fun

G
Well I'm still young and I'm getting me some

     C
Well you can hide away and you can live like a munk

    G
And I'll be a low down dirty skunk

D                      C
Maybe I'll only last a year and a day

D                      C
Maybe I'll only last a year and a day

Maybe I'll only last a year and a day, but

Like how long you wanna live anyway
