G                         C        G
Thirty-nine candles burnt out on a cake
G                   D                G
Each representin' a million mistakes
    G                               C          G
The last one still burns, there's a wish I can make
G             D          C
This time I'm gettin' it right
   D                     C           G
So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath
      C           G           D
And I promise my- self in the time I have leftus

[Chorus]
          G                          C
I'm gonna work like I don't need the money
          G                     D
I'm gonna laugh like I'm not a- fraid to cry
          G                   C
I'm gonna dance like nobody's watchin'
          G            D             G
I'm gonna love while I still got the time

G                     C       G
Lovin' me hasn't been easy on you
G                       D                 G
I don't know why, but I know you still do
   G                           C           G
It may be my day, but here's a present for you
G                 D        C
You're lookin' at your new man
     D                     C            G
He's sincere and sober and faithful and kind
         C             G                 D
And he's home when you need him and girl startin' tonight

          G            D             G
I'm gonna love while I still got the time

Am                                          C     G
No more excuses and no more me doin' things wrong
Am                                                D
Life is too short, baby, I've wasted ours for too long
And baby from now on

I'm gonna laugh like I'm not a- fraid to cry
