             F#
I need your love to light up this house
         D#m
I wanna know what you're all about
         B
I wanna feel you feel you tonight
         C#
I wanna tell you that it's alright
             F#
I need your love to guide me back home
              D#m
When I'm with you I'm never alone
           B
I need to feel you feel you tonight
           C#
I need to tell you that it's alright

Chorus:
            F#     C#              B
We'll never be as young as we are now
              D#m       C#                   B
It's time to leave this old black and white town
                 F#             G#m
Let's seize the day, let's run away
               F#/A#           B
Don't let the colors fade to grey
            F#      C#             B
We'll never be as young as we are now
As young as we are now

I've seen myself here in your eyes
I stay awake till the sunrise
I wanna hold you, hold you all night
I wanna tell you that you're all mine
I feel our hands intertwine
I hear our hearts beating in time
I need to hold you, hold you all night
I need to tell you that you're all mine

Chorus:
We'll never be as young as we are now
(We'll never be, we'll never be this young now)
It's time to leave this old black and white town
(We'll never be, we'll never be this young now)
Let's seize the day, let's run away
Don't let the colours fade to grey
We'll never be as young as we are now
As young as we are now

D#m           C#/F
We won't wait for tomorrow
F#
It's too late we don't follow
D#m            C#
We won't wait for tomorrow
F#             G#m
It's too late we don't follow

Chorus:
We'll never be as young as we are now
(We'll never be, we'll never be this young now)
It's time to leave this old black and white town
Let's seize the day, let's run away
Don't let the colours fade to grey
We'll never be as young as we are now
As young as we are now

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
As young as we are now
