D                          D
I got a little game that I play
      D               D                      D
and I call it "Try to beat the morning paper home"
  D                     D
I ain't very good but I get a lot of practice,
     D                D
even won once a month ago
  
   E                                    F                    G
Of course there was a girl involved that wasn't gonna let me rest
                D   G                   D
But I've always said I can sleep when I'm dead


CHORUS

           D                          G     
If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles from home,
   A                 D
ya gonna hear my V-8 sing
        D                             G
Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane,
      A                       D
Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing
Bm                 A                     G                E
Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet
       A                       D
Like I said I can sleep when I'm dead


VERSE 2


It ain't no fun if ya ain't got money
so I always make it in to work
The trick is to leave at least a half an hour
to brush my teeth and change my shirt
Keep a closet full of Red Bull and Visine to hide the red
I don't need the rest, I can sleep when I'm dead


CHORUS


If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles from home,
ya gonna hear my V-8 sing
Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane,
Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing
Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet
Like I said I can sleep when I'm dead


BRIDGE

A               A
When I get tired, I'll go to bed
A                             A
All that I can say is that it hasn't happened yet


CHORUS


If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles from home,
ya gonna hear my V-8 sing
Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane,
Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing
Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet
Like I said 
Like I said
Like I said
I can sleep when I'm dead
