Verse 1:
A                        Em
Sometimes I feel so alive
A                             Em
Sometimes I see so clear
A                    Em
Just like the way we always were
A                       Em
So young and free from fear

Bridge:
F#m         A                     Em
I lose my fear of war and dying
F#m         A                       Em
And all the clouds just disappear
F#m         A                  Em
Only my mirror sees me crying
F#m         A                  Em  A  G
Each time I lose another year

Chorus:
D                                   A  G
Wouldn't be a drag to be like you
D                              Em
Settling down and having kids
        F
And telling them what to do

Well I'm gonna stay

Nineteen forever

Verse 2:
A                        Em
We can do magic in these times
A                        Em
Be what we want to be
A                        Em
We'll all be rock 'n' roll stars
A               Em
Immortal on TV

F#m         A                         Em
And if you see me looking tired
F#m         A                         Em
I've just been sleeping thought the day
F#m         A                         Em
But I got something to keep me wired
F#m         A                  Em   A  G
we can dance the night away

D                                       A  G
Wouldn't it be a drag to be like them
D                              Em
They're gonna sell out everything
        F
But I won't get fooled again

Cause I'm gonna be
A               Em          x4
Nineteen forever

You better believe it
C                       G        A  Em
You know my dream's still alive
C                             G
You can love it or leave it
C                       G  A  Em
But I'm never gonna be 35
