G# F# C# G#
I got one hand on the bottle, and one foot in the grave
G# F# C# G#
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
C# G#
When that light shines on you
G# F# C# G#
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
D# F# C# C# F# D#
'Cause when the clock strikes twelve, we're all gonna go to hell
