[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
A               Em          x4
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

F#m      A            Em
