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

Forever young
A
Forever young
A
Forever young
A
Forever young
