VERSE 1:
B5                                         Ab5
Let's Dance in style, let's dance for a while
            E5                            F#5
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
               Ab5                      E5
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?


VERSE 2:
B5                                  Ab5
Let us die young or let us live forever
                   E5                       F#5
We don't have the power, but we never say never
              Ab5                 E5
Sitting in a sand-pit, life is a short trip

The music's for the sad men


VERSE 3:
B5                                    Ab5
Can you imagine when this race is run
                 E5                F#5
Turn our golden faces into the sun
              Ab5                       E5
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune

The music's played by the mad men



CHORUS:
B5                      Ab5           E5
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
F#5                   Ab5
Do you really wanna live forever?
E5
Forever, forever



VERSE 4:
B5                                          Ab5
Some are like water, some are like the heat
               E5                  F#5
Some are the melody, some are the beat
           Ab5                      E5
Sooner or later they'll all be gone

Why don't they stay young?


VERSE 5:
B5                                  Ab5
It's hard to get old without a cause
                 E5                        F#5
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
               Ab5                E5
Youth is like diamonds in the sun

And diamonds are forever


CHORUS:
B5                      Ab5           E5
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
F#5                   Ab5
Do you really wanna live forever?
E5
Forever, forever
B5                      Ab5           E5
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
F#5                   Ab5
Do you really wanna live forever?
E5
Forever, forever
