Verse
C                G 
 Let's dance in style 

      G 
Let's dance for a while 

Am         F 
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies 

G          Dm 
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst 

    F                          Am  G 
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not  

C                   G 
Let us die young or let us live forever 

Am                      F                G 
We don't have the power but we never say never 

             Dm 
Sitting in a sandpit 

          F 
Life is a short trip 

                    Am 
The music's for the sad man

So we live a life like a video  


Verse
         Am                        F 
When the sun is always out and you never get old 

        G 
And the champagne's always cold 

        Dm 
And the music is always good 

        F                             Am 
And the pretty girls just happened to stop by in the hood 

         C                                           G 
And they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of that pretty ass car 

          Am 
Without a wrinkle in today 

       F 
'cause there is no tomorrow 

          G 
Just some picture perfect day 

          Dm 
To last a whole lifetime 

       F 
And it never ends 

                      Am 
'cause all we have to do is hit rewind 

             C                                  G 
So lets just stay in the moment smoke some weed  


Drink some wine 

Am                               F 
Reminisce talk some shit forever young is in your mind 

        G                             Dm 
Leave a mark that can't erase neither space nor time 

            F 
So when the director yells cut 


I'll be fine 


I'm forever young 

Am 
Forever young 


Chorus
                   C 
I wanna be forever young

Do you really  want to live   forever 

            Dm 
Forever and ever 

        F Am C G 
Forever     young I wanna be 

        Am    F G

Verse

Forever forever 

C 
Fear not when fear not why 

         G 
Fear not much while were alive 

            Am 
Life is for living not living up tight 

       F 
See ya somewhere up in the sky 

     G                           Dm

       F 
So not for legends I'm forever young 

   Am 
My name shall survive 

            C 
Through the darkest blocks over kitchen stoves 

     G                                  Am 
Over Pyrex pots my name shall be passed down to generations 

      F                           G 
While debating up in barber shops young slung hung here 

Dm 
Shorty the nigga from here 

F                           Am                      C 
With a little ambition just what we can become here  

                             G 
And as the father passed his story down to his sons ears 

Am                  F 
Younger kid younger every year yeah 

      G                                Dm 
So if you love me baby this is how you let me know 

           F                        Am 
Don't ever let me go that's how you let me know baby
