[Verse]
 
G                    D                    Em
Let's start in style, let's dance for a while
           C                            D
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
               Em                       C
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
                          D
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
 
 
G                 D                      Em
Let us die young or let us live forever
            C                             D
We don't have the power, but we never say never
              Em                     C
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
                          D
The music's for the sad man
 
 
G                 D                        Em
Can you imagine when this race is won
         C                               D
Turn our golden faces into the sun
               Em                        C
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
                                 D
The music's played by the, the madman
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G        D
Forever Young
          Em         C
I want to be forever young
D                      Em
Do you really want to live forever?
C       D
Forever, and ever
G          D
Forever young
          Em         C
I want to be forever young
D                     Em
Do you really want to live forever?
C       D       G
     Forever young.
 
 
[Verse]
 
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
 
 
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
 
 
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let 'em come true
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G        D
Forever young
          Em         C
I want to be forever young
D                      Em
Do you really want to live forever?
C       D
Forever, and ever
G          D
Forever young
          Em         C
I want to be forever young
D                     Em
Do you really want to live forever?
C       D
     Forever

Can anyone tell me the strumming pattern, I'm very much a beginner and want to learn on a song that I love.

I personally play it as regular downstrokes with 2 per chord and that seems to work pretty well

Can’t someone do this whole song with the chords? Why does it stop :(
