F,Bb,F RIGHT THROUGH SONG
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Could have sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin'to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care
Bb,Dm7 FOR Chorus
They say two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
I was dreamin'when I wrote this
So sue me if I go too fast
But life is just a party
And parties weren't meant to last
War is all around us
My mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die
I'm gonna listen to my body tonight
They say two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
So togight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
1999!
If you didn't come to party
Don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
And baby, he's ready to roar
Yeah, everybody's got a bomb
We could all die any day
But before I'll let that happen
I'll dance my life away
They say two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
(We're runnin' outta time)
So tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999!
Say, say,
Two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
So tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999!
Alright, it's 1999!
You say it, 1999!
1999!
1999! Don't stop, don't stop, say it 1 more time!
1999!
