C                       F        
You've been there since Queen St.
    C               G
 in nineteen ninety-three
     C                  F      
Yeah twenty years and a thousand 
            G                      C
beers and you're still there for me
C             F                  
Whitaker Park after dark, 'till 
   C                 G
the cops came spotlighting
    C                      F
And yeah we ran, were just kids back
 then
G                   C
And we're still singin' (Yeah!)

[Chorus]

   C                 F            
   I don't wanna die I don't wanna
     C               G
 die I don't wanna die
