INTRO: C  G  Am  F  G  Dm  F  Am G C
               G                       Am
Let's start in style, let's dance for awhile
           F                             G
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
               Dm                      F
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
                       Am           G-C
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
            G                       Am
Let us stay 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
                    Am      G-C
The music's for the sad man
         G                        Am
Can you imagine when this race is won
               F              G
As we turn our faces into the sun
             Dm                        F
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
                         Am    G      C
The music's played by the, the madman
CHORUS:
        G
Forever Young
          Am    C    F      G
I want to be Forever Young
                      Dm             F
Do you really want to live forever?
       G          C
Forever and ever
        G
Forever Young
          Am    C    F      G
I want to be Forever Young
                      Dm             F
Do you really want to live forever?
        G        C
Forever, Forever Young
              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-C
Why don't they stay young?
                    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
Years like diamonds in the sun
                    Am   G-C
And diamonds are forever
          G                        Am
So many advances couldn't happen today
        F                      G
So many songs we forgot to play
               Dm                  F
So many dreams swinging out in the blue
                  Am   G  C
Oh, let them come true
