[Verse]
 
G               G/F#                   Em
Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
           Cadd9                        D/F#
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
               Em                     Cadd9
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
                         D/F#
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
 
G           G/F#                  Em
Let us die young or let us live forever
                 Cadd9                  D/F#
We don't have the power but we never say never
                Em                 Cadd9
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
                     D/F#
The music's for the sad men
 
 
G            G/F#                Em
Can you imagine when this race is won
               Cadd9            D/F#
Turn our golden faces into the sun
                Em                  Cadd9
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
                            D/F#
The music's played by the mad men
 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G           G/F#        Em           Cadd9
Forever young, I want to be forever young
D/F#            Em                 Cadd9     D/F#
do you really want to live forever, forever forever
G           G/F#        Em           Cadd9
Forever young, I want to be forever young
D/F#            Em                 Cadd9     D/F#
do you really want to live forever? Forever forever

[Verses: 4-6]
 
G              G/F#                    Em
Some are like water, some are like the heat     
            Cadd9                  D/F#
Some are a melody and some are the beat
           Em                    Cadd9
Sooner or later they all will be gone
                      D/F#
why don't they stay young
 
 
G           G/F#                  Em
It's so hard to get old without a cause
                Cadd9                   D/F#
I don't want to perish like a fleeing horse
                Em          Cadd9
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
                   D/F#
and diamonds are forever
 
 
G              G/F#                  Em
So many adventures couldn't happen today
         Cadd9              D/F#
So many songs we forgot to play
          Em                      Cadd9
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
                  D/F#
We let them come true
 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G           G/F#        Em           Cadd9
Forever young, I want to be forever young
D/F#            Em                 Cadd9     D/F#
do you really want to live forever, forever Forever
G           G/F#        Em           Cadd9
Forever young, I want to be forever young
D/F#            Em                 Cadd9     D/F#
do you really want to live forever? Forever Forever
 
 
[Instrumental] G, G/F#, Em, Cadd9, D/F#, Em, Cadd9, D/F# X2
 
 
G           G/F#        Em           Cadd9
Forever young, I want to be forever young
D/F#            Em                 Cadd9     D/F#
do you really want to live forever, forever Forever
G           G/F#        Em           Cadd9
Forever young, I want to be forever young
D/F#            Em                 Cadd9     D/F#
do you really want to live forever, forever

Cadd9 - 032033 right?
+3
antoonioo
Cadd9 sounds better with - 032033, is it a mistake of the creater or should it be 023033 ? And as Thorhauge says, it sounds better playing Em at "Live" :) Else its a great tab. 5*

I like the tab but I prefer playing the Em in the chorus on "live"(forever). Fits with the rhythm. Nice tab, keep it up.
