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