     D#m
Ooh, gather the wind,
  B                   C#              D#m
though the wind won't help you fly at all
D#m
Your back's to the wall
                      B
Chain the sun and it tears away
    C#             D#m       B       C#
To face you as you run, you run, you run

Behind the smile,
there's danger and a promise to be told
You'll never get old
Life's fantasy to be locked away
And still, to think you're free,
you're free, we're free

Chorus:
C#
So live for today
   B            C#
Tomorrow never comes

D#m
Die young, die young
Can't you see the writing in the air?
Die young, gonna die young
Someone stopped the fair

Gather the wind,
though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Then chain the sun and it tears away
And it tears away to face you as you run,
you run, you run

Chorus:
So live for today
Tomorrow never comes

     D#m   B C#
Die young, young
     D#m        B C#
Die young, die young
     D#m               B C#
Die young, die young, young
     D#m                    B
Die young, die young, die young,
                 C#
die young, die young!
                           D#m B C#
Die young, die young, die young,
