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

Forever young
E
Forever young
E
Forever young
E
Forever young
A
Forever young
