Skid Row – 18 and life

[Verse]
Dm C Dm
so tired of waiting I walked an empty land
Bb
I was looking for something to help me understand
Gm C Am
but bad luck kept turning my dreams into sand

[Chorus]
Dm C Dm
I didn't want pity I had my share of friends
Bb
I wanted somebody more special than the rest
Gm Am C
I was aching inside like I was approaching the end

[Intro]

[Verse]
C#m B C#m B
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.
C#m B A B
It kept his motor running, but it never kept him clean.
C#m B C#m B
They say he loved adventure, Ricky's the wild one.
C#m B A B
He married trouble had a courtship with a gun.
A F#
Bang, bang shoot 'em up, the party never ends.
G# F# G# A B
You can't think of dying when that bottle's your best friend.
And now it's....

[Chorus]
C#m A E B
Eighteen and life you got it. Eighteen and life you know.
C#m A E B
Your crime is time and it's, eighteen and life to go.
C#m A E B
Eighteen and life you got it. Eighteen and life you know.
C#m A E B C#m
Your crime is time and it's, eighteen and life to go.

[Bridge]

"Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say.
A B C#m
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away.

[Chorus]
C#m A E B
Eighteen and life you got it. Eighteen and life you know.
C#m A E B
Your crime is time and it's, eighteen and life to go.
C#m A E B
Eighteen and life you got it. Eighteen and life you know.
C#m A E B C#m
Your crime is time and it's, eighteen and life to go.
