[Verse 1]
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
N.C.                           G
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
D                      C
Maybe I'll only last a year and a day, but
N.C.                        G N.C.
Like how long you wanna live anyway
