[Verse]
C                G                      Am
  Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
           F                            G
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
               Dm                      F
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
                       G6   Fmaj7   G6   C
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
 
C           G                      Am
Let us die young or let us live forever
           F                            G
We don't have the power, but we never say never
               Dm                      F
Sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip
                        G6   Fmaj7   G6   C
The music's for the sad man
 
C                G                    Am
Can you imagine when this race is won
           F                       G
Turn our golden faces into the sun
               Dm                      F
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
                       G6   Fmaj7   G6   C
The music's played by the mad man
 
[Chorus]
C         G
  Forever Young
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                      Am
 Do you really want to live forever?
F       G
 Forever, and ever
C         G
  Forever Young,
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                     Am
Do you really want to live forever?
F  G         C
     Forever Young.
 
[Verse]
C                G                      Am
Some are like water, some are like the heat
           F                         G
Some are the melody and some are the beat
               Dm                     F
Sooner or later they all will be gone
                       G6   Fmaj7   G6   C
Why don't they stay young?
 
C                G                      Am
It's so hard to get old without a cause
           F                            G
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
                 Dm              F
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
                       G6   Fmaj7   G6   C
And diamonds are forever
 
C                G                Am
So many adventures given up today
           F                    G
So many songs we forgot to play
               Dm                      F
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
                       G6   Fmaj7   G6   C
Oh let it come true
 
[Chorus]
C         G
  Forever Young
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                      Am
 Do you really want to live forever?
F       G
 Forever, and ever
C         G
  Forever Young,
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                     Am
Do you really want to live forever?
F  G         C
     Forever Young.
 
[Solo]
 
[Chorus]
C         G
  Forever Young
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                      Am
 Do you really want to live forever?
F       G
 Forever, and ever
C         G
  Forever Young,
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                     Am
Do you really want to live forever?
F  G         C
     Forever Young.

The lyrics seem wrong but the rest is good enough for me!

It's good except the"G Am Do you really want to live forever" Part, where I think you should exchange the Am with a Dm.
