[Intro]
G A E
[Verse 1]

I don't care to be bad

I prefer to think twice

All I know is it's quite a show

But it's still alright to be nice

Yankee toes and Eskimos can turn to frozen ice
[Chorus 1]
E G#m/D# C#m E/B
When the cold days come
A F#m D A/C# B
and the old ways fade away
E G#m/D# C#m E/B
There’ll be no more sun
A F#m D A/C# B E B
and we’ll wish that we had held on to the day
E
Seize the day
[Verse 2]
E
I don't mean to be wrong
B
I don't mean to be right

I'm okay on a sunny day

When the world deserves to be bright

Dinosaurs and Santa Claus will stay indoors tonight
[Chorus 2]
