Intro
D A
[Verse 1]
D
It was you and me
D
Sitting in an apple tree
D
At the summer's end
G A
We were only seventeen
Bm D F#m
We held on so tight, that September night
G
Then you promised me
[Chorus]
A D G
We're never getting older we're never gonna be that way
D G A
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday
Bm D F#m
Let them say we're crazy, 'cause we already won
G A D
When you promised me, we'd be forever young
[Verse 2]
A D
I got your letter
G
I can't seem to put it down
D
It makes it better
G A
To have a piece of you around
D
They're all just strangers
G
Their words don't mean a thing
D
I swear I'll die here
G A
I swear that I'd do anything
Bm F#m
To be back again, at the summer's end
G
When you promised me
[Chorus]
A D G
We're never getting older, we're never gonna be that way
D G A
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday
Bm D F#m
They still say we're crazy and I still say we won
G A
When you promised me, we'd be forever--
[Bridge]
G D
Sooner or later-time gets the best of you
G D
I should've known better-you gotta do what you gotta do
G
If I had me a river
Bm
I'd sit and watch it run by
A
I'd never let it run dry
G
I'm never gonna say goodbye
D A D G
[Chorus]
A D G
We're never getting older we're never gonna be that way
D G A
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday
Bm D F#m
Let them say we're crazy, 'cause we already won
G A D
When you promised me, we'd be forever young
[Outro]
D

D
Forever young
D
Forever young
D
Forever young
G
Forever young
