Forever Young

[Intro] C  G  Am  F
        G  Dm  F  Am  G

[First Part]

 C               G
Let's dance in style
                   Am
Lets dance for a while
            F
Heaven can wait
                          G
We're only watching the skies
                Dm
Hoping for the best
                   F
But expecting the worst

Are you going to drop
     Am          G
The bomb or not?

 C          G
Let us die young
                  Am
Or let us live forever
                   F
We don't have the power
                  G
But we never say never
              Dm
Sitting in a sandpit
            F
Life is a short trip
                     Am     G
The music's for the sad men

 C        G
Can you imagine
                   Am
When this race is won
                 F
Turn our golden faces
          G
Into the sun
              Dm
Praising our leaders
                  F
We're getting in tune
              Am
The music's played
        G
By the mad men

[Chorus]

[Second Part]

 C             G
Some are like water
                   Am
Some are like the heat
            F
Some are a melody
                  G
And some are the beat
           Dm
Sooner or later
                  F
They all will be gone
                     Am   G
Why don't they stay young

C                   G
It's so hard to get old
           Am
Without a cause
                 F
I don't want to perish
               G
Like a fading horse
               Dm             F
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
                    Am   G
And diamonds are forever

 C         G
So many adventures
                   Am
Couldn't happen today
         F
So many songs
               G
We forgot to play
          Dm
So many dreams
                      F
Swinging out of the blue
                   Am  G
We let them come true

[Chorus]

 C       G
Forever young
           Am
I want to be
         F
Forever young
 G
Do you really
         Dm
Want to live forever
 F          G
Forever and ever

 C       G
Forever young
           Am
I want to be
          F
Forever young
 G
Do you really
         Dm
Want to live forever
 F          G
Forever and ever

   C      G
Forever young
           Am
I want to be
         F
Forever young
 G
Do you really
         Dm
Want to live forever
 F      G        C
Forever and ever
