              Intro: F#m 
 
F#m 
 Blood in my eye, hand on my heart 
 Feet on the ground, head to the sky 
 Cause trouble ain't no friend of mine 
 Ain't no giving it up, no more wasting time 
  
 
B           D 
 If you had 28 thousand days 
F#m 
 Who would you love? Where would you go? 
B               D 
 What would you celebrate? 
F#m                              B             D 
 I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away 
 F#m                            D                        E 
 So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life 
F#m 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 
 
F#m 
 Back from hell with my angel wings 
 Ain't no fear in my voice 
 Cause I'm making a choice  
 The devil ain't no friend of me 
 And that clock on the wall is telling me 
 (That there's just...) 
  
 
B             D 
 There's only 28 thousand days 
F#m 
 Who would you love? Where would you go? 
B               D 
 What would you celebrate? 
F#m                              B             D 
 I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away 
 F#m                            D                        E 
 So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life 
F#m 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 
 
B             D 
 There's only 28 thousand days 
F#m 
 Who would you love? Where would you go? 
B               D 
 What would you celebrate? 
F#m                              B             D 
 I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away 
 F#m                            D                        E 
 So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life 
F#m 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 Hey, ey, ey 
 Hey, ey, ey
