{Intro}
F5 Bb5
C5 D5 G5 C5 D5 G5
F5YOLO, you only live Bb5once.
The C5batD5tle cG5ry C5of D5a generaG5tion.
F5This life is a precious Bb5gift.
So C5doD5n't get too cG5razy, It'C5s nD5ot worth the G5risk.
{Chorus w/Adam Levine}
FYou know that we are still youngBb, so don't be dumDmb
Don't trust anyone, Bb'cause you'll only live once.
{Verse 1}
FUh, you only lBbive once that's the motto,
C5so D5take a chG5ill pill eC5ase D5up the G5throttle.
Never Fgo to loud clubs 'cause it's Bbbad for your ears,
C5youD5r frienG5ds will all be C5soD5rry when they cG5an't hear.
And stay the hFell away from drugs 'cause they Bbnot legal,
then C5burD5y all your mG5oney in the C5baD5ckyard like G5a beagle.
'cause you should Fnever trust a bank they've been Bbknown to fail,
C5and D5never travel by cG5ar or bC5us, D5water, by rG5ail.
And don't trFavel by plane and don't Bbtravel at all,
C5buiD5ld a bomb shG5elter basement wiC5th D5titanium G5wall.
And wear titFanium suits in case piBbanos fall on 'ya,
C5and D5never go to sG5aunas 'cause theyC5're D5crawling with pG5iranhas.
And nFever take the stairs 'cause Bbthey're often unsafe,
C5you D5only live oG5nce, don't lC5et D5it go to G5waste.
{Chorus 2}
FYou know that we are still youngBb, so hold on from the fDmun
Cook your meat 'till it's doneBb, 'cause you'll only live once.
{Verse 2}
FYeah, and here’s aBbnother piece of advice:
C5StaD5y away from kG5ids cause thC5eir D5hair is filled with G5mad lice.
FThere’s no such thing as too Bbmuch Purell.
This a caC5utiD5onary tG5ale, woC5rd D5to George G5Orwell.
So don’t F1980 force any plBbugs into sockets.
C5AlwD5ays wear a chaG5stity belt C5anD5d triple G5lock it.
Then hFire a taster make him cBbheck your food for poison.
And if C5you D5think your maG5ilman iC5s a D5spy then G5destroy him.
No blFankets or pajamas they can Bbchoke you in your sleep.
C5   D5   G5{Mute}
Two words about furniture: killing machines.
Board your Fwindows up the sun is Bbbad for your health.
And aC5lwaD5ys wear a stG5raight jacket so C5yoD5ur safe from yG5ourself.
{Verse 3 w/Kendrick Lamar}
Uh huh, FTake no chances (no chances)
BbStop freelancing’ (right now)
C5InvD5est in your fG5uture, don’t C5dilD5ute your fG5inances (uh huh)
F401K, make sBbure it’s low risk
C5TheD5n get some G5real estate (C5how D5much?) G54.2%
FThirty year mortgage,
Bbthat’s important, that’s a great deal
C5And D5if you can’t aG5fford it, don’t C5foD5rge it on your G5last bill
FRenting is for suckers right nBbow. A dependable savings,
C5   D5   G5{Mute}
And you’ll retire with money in your account. Beast!
{Verse 4/Pre Chorus}

YoC5u oD5ughta look G5out also C5stD5ands for YG5OLO.
{Chorus 3}
FYou know that we are still youngBb. Burn the prints off your thumDmbs
Then pull out all your Bbteeth, so you can’t bite your tongue.
{Outro)
FOnly on this earth for a short time, time
So Bbdon’t go outside, cause you don’t want to die, Dmdie.
