[CT #1][#0]
[INTRO]
C     G    Am     F    G    Dm    F    Am-G  

C                 G                        Am
  Let's start 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
                        Am             G
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 a sandpit, life is a short trip
                     Am        G
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
                   Am               G  
The music's played by the... the madman

C           G
   Forever Young
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                       Dm
  Do you really want to live forever?
F         G
  Forever,  we’ll never
  
C          G
   Forever Young,
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                       Dm
  Do you really want to live forever?

 F  G         C
      Forever Young.

G   

C                G                            Am
  Some are like water, some are like the heat
            F                       G
Some are a melody and some are the beat
          Dm                     F
Sooner or later they all will be gone
                     Am       G
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
                    Am     G 
And diamonds are forever

C            G                         Am
  So many adventures couldn’t happen today
        F                    G
So many songs we forgot to play

        Dm                         F
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
                    Am    G   
We’ll let them come true

C           G
   Forever Young
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                       Dm
  Do you really want to live forever?
F           G
  Forever,  we’ll never
  
C          G
  Forever Young,
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                        Dm
   Do you really want to live forever? 
F           G   
   Forever, or never 
   
C          G
   Forever Young
          Am          F
I want to be Forever Young
G                        Dm
   Do you really want to live forever?
   
F  G
