Never Die Young            (Capo 4th Fret)

Intro-C  F  G  Am  F  Fmaj7  C  F  E  Am  F   Fmaj7 
         G  Am  F   G  Am  F  G  Am  F  G   Am  F  G Am F

C                        F     G        C                F        G
We were ring-around-the-rosy children, they were circles around the sun.


Am          F  Fmaj7        G   Am         F    Fmaj7             G
Never give up, never slow down, never grow old, never ever die young.


C                       F     G     C               F      G
Synchronized with the rising moon, even with the evening star,


Am               F  Fmaj7         G 
they were true love written in stone,

Am               F     Fmaj7                G          C  F  Am
they were never alone, they were never that far apart.

F                             G                                                 
And we who couldn't bear to believe they might make it,

F                     G
we got to close our eyes.


F                       G            F                      G
Cut up our losses into doable doses, ration our tears and sighs.

               C                           F         G
Oh, you could see them on the street on a Saturday night. 

C                 F       G
Everyone used to run them down.


           Am          F          Fmaj7            G    
They're a little too sweet, they're a little too tight, 

Am          F        Fmaj7  G
not enough tough for this town.


C                           F        G          
Couldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole,

C                       F       G
no, it didn't seem to rattle at all.


        Am      F       Fmaj7      G
They were glued together body and soul, 

       Am  F              Fmaj7      G          C    F  G  Am  F  Fmaj7
that much more with their backs up against the wall.

G             Am   F        G    Am       F        G
Oh, hold them up, hold them up, never do let them fall

Am           F           G            Am          F                      
pray to the dust and the rust and the ruin that names us

     G             Am
and claims us and shames us all.

(Instrumental)   F  G  F  G  F  G  F  Am G

    C                    F       G       C               F          G      
I guess it had to happen someday soon- wasn't nothing to hold them down.

Am          F                      Fmaj7    G     
They would rise from among us like a big balloon,

Am        F    Fmaj7       G
take the sky, forsake the ground.

C               F            G      C            F         G
Oh, yes, other hearts were broken, yeah, other dreams ran dry

        Am      F   Fmaj7     G          Am       F  Fmaj7    G      C   
but our golden ones sail on, sail on to another land beneath another sky.

  C          F         G     C           F         G
(Let other hearts be broken, let other dreams run dry)

        Am      F   Fmaj7    
but our golden ones sail on,

 G      Am          F   Fmaj7      G     C   F    G   Am 
sail on to another land beneath another sky,

F        G      C       F   E  Am  F    Fmaj7    
beneath another sky.


G         Am    F       G    Am        F   G        Am    F       G          
Hold them up, hold them up, hold them up, hold them up, hold them up,

Am         F
hold them up…


(Hold them up, don’t let them fall).
