           C                                 G 
One day my past will be much longer than my future 
    F                                   C 
So while I'm here, I guess I'll make my noise 
            C                                 G 
As we are screaming down the highway taking chances 
         F                                   C 
I think I'll give just enough then give some more 


           C                             G 
And every friend I ever had I took for granted 
   F                               C 
A lesson that you can't learn standing still 
             C                           G 
So when you want a better view of the horizon 
               F                                 C 
Sometimes you gotta break a sweat climbing that hill 


               G             C      G   Am 
So raise your hands, and celebrate with me 
            G                C    G   Am 
Raise your voice, and sing along, oh please 
            G              C         G      Am       F 
Raise your glass, cause we all could use a drink sometimes 
     G                   C 
Celebrate cause life is fine 


             C                               G 
There was a moment standing with my younger brother 
        F                              C 
As the radio played and we both sang along 
               C                                 G 
And I though "brother, I'm so thankful for this memory, 
           F                                   C 
Cause it's all you'll carry with you when I'm gone" 


               G             C      G   Am 
So raise your hands, and celebrate with me 
            G                C    G   Am 
Raise your voice, and sing along, oh please 
            G              C         G      Am       F 
Raise your glass, cause we all could use a drink sometimes 
     G                   C 
Celebrate cause life is fine 


   (C G F C) (2x) 

         C                                     G 
I do my best to breathe in deep and smell the roses 
             F                                C 
Though it's hard for me to move that slow sometimes 
           C                                  G 
And as the moments keep on rolling towards forever 
      F                            C 
I am thankful for the beauty in my life 


               G             C      G   Am 
So raise your hands, and celebrate with me 
            G                C    G   Am 
Raise your voice, and sing along, oh please 
            G              C         G      Am       F 
Raise your glass, cause we all could use a drink sometimes 
     G                   C 
Celebrate cause life is fine 
               G             C      G   Am 
So raise your hands, and celebrate with me 
            G                C    G   Am 
Raise your voice, and sing along, oh please 
            G              C         G      Am       F 
Raise your glass, cause we all could use a drink sometimes 
     G                   C    F 
Celebrate cause life is fine 
     G                   C 
Celebrate cause life is fine
