               A           E/G#                       F#m 
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while 
              D                            E 
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies 
Bm                                       D 
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst 
                   F#m              E 
Are you going to drop the bomb or not? 
 
A          E/G#                     F#m 
Let us die young or let us live forever 
                    D                      E 
We don't have the power but we never say never 
Bm                                     D 
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip 
               F#m            E 
The music's for the sad men 
 
A           E/G#                   F#m 
Can you imagine when this race is won? 
             D                    E 
Turn our golden faces into the sun 
Bm                                      D 
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune 
                  F#m              E 
The music's played by the madmen 
 
Refrão 
A           E            F#m        D      E 
Forever young, I want to be forever young 
             Bm 
Do you really want to live forever 
D             E 
Forever - and ever 
 
Refrão 
A           E/G#                   F#m 
Some are like water, some are like the heat 
             D                     E 
Some are a melody and some are the beat 
Bm                                D 
Sooner or later, they all will be gone 
              F#m            E 
Why don't they stay young? 
 
A           E/G#                   F#m 
It's so hard to get old without a cause 
             D                     E 
I don't want to perish like a fading horse 
Bm                           D 
Youth's like diamonds in the sun 
              F#m          E 
And diamonds are forever 
 
A           E/G#                   F#m 
So many adventures couldn't happen today 
         D                  E 
So many songs we forgot to play 
Bm                                 D 
So many dreams swinging out of the blue 
               F#m         E 
We'll let them come true 
 
Refrão 3x
