[Verse]
C A# F C
I got one hand on the bottle, and one foot in the grave
C A# F C
It's been too long since I stepped, but I, I, I ain't got time to waste

Three long days, boy you'd better break
F C
When that light shines on you
C A# F C
Gonna want to stay forever and a day, but it's the night I belong to
[Pre-Chorus]

So, I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
G A# F F A# G
'Cause when the clock strikes twelve, we're all gonna go to hell
