Jay-Z  (Feat. Mr Hudson) – Young Forever   (The Blueprint 3  (2009))

C    | G    | Am    | F    ||  G    | Dm    | F    | Am (G)   (repeat chords)

Let’s dance in style, Let’s dance for a while,

  Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst,

  Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever,

  We don’t have the power but we never say never,

Sitting in a sandpit, Life is a short trip,

  The music’s for the sad man,

Forever young, I wanna be forever young

Do you really want to live forever? Forever and ever

Forever young, I wanna be forever young

Do you really want to live forever? Forever, forever

So we live a life like a video,

When the sun is always out and you never get old

and the champagne’s always cold, and the music’s always good

and the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood

and they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of dat pretty ass car

without a wrinkle in today, cuz there is no tomorrow

just some picture perfect day, to last a whole lifetime

and it never ends, cuz all we have to do is hit rewind

so let’s just stay in the moment, smoke n weed, drink n wine

Reminisce, talk some S**, forever young is in your mind

leave a mark that can never erase me neither space nor time

so when the director yells cut, I’ll be fine, I’m forever young…

[ CHORUS ]

[C,  G,  Am,  F  / G,  Dm,  F,  Am (G)]

Fear not when, fear not why, fear not much while were alive,

life is for living not living up tight, see ya somewhere up in the sky,

fear not die, i’ll be alive for a million years, bye bye,

so not for legends, I’m forever young, my name shall survive

through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves,

         over Pyrex pots, my name shall be passed

down to generations while debating up in barber shops,

young slum, hung here, show that the all from here

with a little ambition just what we can become here,

and as the father passed his story down to his sons ears,

younger kid, younger every year, yeah

so if you love me baby this is how you let me know.

don’t ever let me go, thats how you let me know, baby,

( CHORUS )

Slamming Bentley doors, hopping out of Porsches,

popping up on Forbes lists, Gorgeous, hold up,

they all starting law suits, they be talking bullS**

I be talking more S**, they nauseous, hold up,

I’ll be here forever, you know, I’m on my fall shot,

and I ain’t waiting for closure, I will never forfeit,

less than four bars, Guru bring the chorus in,

did you get the picture yet, I’m painting you a portrait of young…

( CHORUS )
