[Verse]
C              G                      Am     
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
           F                            G    
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
               Dm                      F    
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
                       G6   Fmaj7  G6
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
C           G                      Am  
Let us die young or let us live forever
           F                            G      
We don't have the power, but we never say never
               Dm                      F    
Sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip
                        G6 Fmaj7
The music's for the sad man
C                G                   Am
Can you imagine when this race is won
           F                      G
Turn our golden faces into the sun
               Dm                      F   
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
                       G6   Fmaj7G6
The music's played by the mad man

[Chorus]
C       G    
Forever Young
          Am         F    
I want to be Forever Young
G                     Am           
Do you really want to live forever?
F      G         
Forever, and ever
C       G     
Forever Young,
          Am         F    
I want to be Forever Young
G                     Am           
Do you really want to live forever?
F       C     
Forever Young.

[Verse]
C                G                      Am 
Some are like water, some are like the heat
           F                         G   
Some are the melody and some are the beat
               Dm                    F
Sooner or later they all will be gone
                       G6 Fmaj7
Why don't they stay young?
C                G                     Am
It's so hard to get old without a cause
           F                            G 
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
                 Dm             F
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
                       G6 Fmaj7
And diamonds are forever
C                G               Am
So many adventures given up today
           F                   G
So many songs we forgot to play
               Dm                      F
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
                   G6
Oh let it come true

[Chorus]
C       G    
Forever Young
          Am         F    
I want to be Forever Young
G                     Am           
Do you really want to live forever?
F      G         
Forever, and ever
C       G     
Forever Young,
          Am         F    
I want to be Forever Young
G                     Am           
Do you really want to live forever?
F       C     
Forever Young.

[Chorus]
C       G    
Forever Young
          Am         F    
I want to be Forever Young
G                     Am           
Do you really want to live forever?
F      G         
Forever, and ever
C       G     
Forever Young,
          Am         F    
I want to be Forever Young
G                     Am           
Do you really want to live forever?
F       C     
Forever Young.
