[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
I want 99 candles on my birthday cake
D
Live as long as these bones will take
D
Unapologetic and unashamed
D
And wear big sunglasses
[Verse 2]
D
I never wanna ever stop asking why
D
Mix a little reckless with the wise
D
Smoke a cigarette once in a while
D
In a leather jacket
A
And own my status
[Chorus]
G
I wanna die young when I’m old
D
Keep a little bit of wild in my soul
A Bm
Never stop dreaming, never stop learning
A
Silver hair and years of gold
G
I never really wanna grow up
D
Find me when my time is done
A Bm
Still raising hell and having fun
A G
I wanna die young when I'm old
[Verse 3]
D
I never wanna lose my sense of wonder
D
Be a kid again when I’m a grandmother
D
I hope age is just a number
D
And I never act it
A
With every year that passes
[Chorus]
G
I wanna die young when I’m old
D
Keep a little bit of wild in my soul
A Bm
Never stop dreaming, never stop learning
A
Silver hair and years of gold
G
I never really wanna grow up
D
Find me when my time is done
A Bm
Still raising hell and having fun
A G
I wanna die young when I'm old
[Guitar Solo]
D A G
[Bridge]
D
I never wanna let experience
D
Take all of my innocence
[Chorus]
G
I wanna die young when I’m old
D
Keep a little bit of wild in my soul
A Bm
Never stop dreaming, never stop learning
A
Silver hair and years of gold
G
I never really wanna grow up
D
Find me when my time is done
A Bm
Still raising hell and having fun
A G
I wanna die young when I'm old
[Outro]

I wanna die young when I’m old
