Verse 1
C – G – Am – F – G – Dm – F – G6 Fmaj7
G6 – C –
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
C – G – Am – F – G – Dm – F – G6 Fmaj7
G6 – C –
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
C – G – Am – F – G – Dm – F – G6 Fmaj7
G6 – C –
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the mad men
Chorus 1
C – G – Am – F – G – Am – F – G – x2
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? Forever young
C – – –
Verse 2
C – G – Am – F – G – Dm – F – G6 Fmaj7
G6 – C –
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
C – G – Am – F – G – Dm – F – G6 Fmaj7
G6 – C –
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
C – G – Am – F – G – Dm – F – G6 Fmaj7
G6 – C –
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
Chorus 2
C – G – Am – F – G – Am – F – G – x2
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
