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)
 
    D         G             A   
 ...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.
