[Strophe]
G               D                     Em 
Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while 
           C                              D 
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies 
               Em                     C 
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst 
                         D 
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?  
G          D                      Em 
Let us die young or let us live forever 
                 C                      D 
We don't have the power but we never say never 
                Em                 C 
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip 
                     D 
The music's for the sad men
[Refrain]
G       D                  Em       C 
Forever young, I want to be forever young 
D                     Em            C       D 
do you really want to live forever, forever forever 
G       D                  Em      C 
Forever young, I want to be forever young 
D                      Em           C         D 
do you really want to live forever? Forever forever
[Strophe]
G                  D                   Em 
Some are like water, some are like the heat 
                    C                      D 
Some are a melody and some are the beat 
           Em                    C 
Sooner or later they all will be gone 
                      D 
why don't they stay young  
G                     D                   Em 
It's so hard to get old without a cause 
                C                       D 
I don't want to perish like a fleeing horse 
                Em          C 
Youth's like diamonds in the sun 
                   D 
and diamonds are forever
[Refrain]
G        D                Em       C 
Forever young, I want to be forever young 
D                        Em          C      D 
do you really want to live forever, forever Forever 
G        D              Em         C 
Forever young, I want to be forever young 
D                        Em         C       D 
do you really want to live forever? Forever Forever
[Pont]
G             D                      Em 
So many adventures couldn't happen today 
         C                  D 
So many songs we forgot to play 
          Em                      C 
So many dreams swinging out of the blue 
                  D 
We let them come true
[Refrain]
G       D                Em        C 
Forever young, I want to be forever young 
D                        Em          C       D 
do you really want to live forever, forever Forever 
G        D              Em         C 
Forever young, I want to be forever young 
D                        Em          C          D 
do you really want to live forever? Forever Forever
