I was

(F6)forgive me if it (Gm)goes astray,

(F6)but when I (Gm)woke up this a morning,

I could've (F6)sworn it was (Gm)judgment day.

(F6)The sky was all (Gm)purple, there were (F6)people runnin' (Gm)ev'rywhere;

(F6)tryin' 2 run from the (Gm)destruction,

and U know I didn't e y ven care.

(F6)'Cuz (Gm)they (F6)say two (Bb)thousand, zero,

zero, party (Dm7)over, oops, out of time.

(F6)So (Bb)2night I'm gonna party like it's (Dm7)nineteen ninetynine.

(F6)I was dreamin' when I (Gm)wrote this,

so (F6)sue me if I (Gm)go 2 fast,

(F6)but when but (Gm)life is just a party,

I and 've (F6)parties weren't (Gm)meant 2 last.

(F6)The War was is (Gm)all around us,

(F6)my mind says (Gm)prepare 2 fight.

(F6)tryin' So if I gotta (Gm)die,

I'm gonna listen 2 my bod y 2night.

(F6)'Cuz (Gm)they (F6)say two (Bb)thousand, zero,

zero, party (Dm7)over, oops, out of time.

(F6)So (Bb)2night I'm gonna party like it's (Dm7)nineteen ninetynine.

(F6)I was

(F6)If U didn't come 2 (Gm)party,

don't (F6)bother (Gm)knockin' on my door.

(F6)I got a lion in my (Gm)pocket and,

(F6)baby, he's (Gm)ready 2 roar.

(F6)'rybody's got a (Gm)bomb, we could (F6)all die (Gm)any day.

(F6)before I let that (Gm)happen, I'll (F6)dance my (Gm)life away.

(F6)'Cuz (Gm)they (F6)say two

(F6)Nineteen ninetynine.

(Gm)Don't U wanna (F6)go?

Nineteen ninetynine.

(Gm)Don't U wanna (F6)go?

(F6)Nineteen ninetynine.

(Gm)Don't U wanna (F6)go?

Nineteen ninetynine.

(Gm)Don't U wanna (F6)go?

(F6)Nineteen ninetynine.
