Music & Lyrics: Alphaville
[Intro]
| C | G | Am | F | G | Dm | F | Am G |
[Verse 1]
C G Am
_ Let’s dance 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
[Chorus 1]
C G
_ Forever Young
Am F
I want to be Forever Young
G Am
_ 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 Am
_ Do you really want to live forever?
F G C
_ _ Forever Young.
[Break]
| G F |
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
C G
_ Forever Young
Am F
I want to be Forever Young
G Am
_ 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 Am F G
_ Do you really want to live forever? Forever, or never forever
C G
_ Forever Young
Am F
I want to be Forever Young
G Dm F G
_ Do you really want to live forever?
