G            C       D
Die young, stay pretty
G            C       D
Die young, stay pretty
G            C       D           G
Die young, stay pretty, oh oh oh-ah
G            C       D
Die young, stay pretty

C                   D
Deteriorate in your own time
C                    D
(Deteriorate in your own time)
C                                  D
Tell 'em you're dead and wither a-way

         G
Are you living alone or with your family?
    C                    D
A dried up twig on your family tree?
         G
Are you waiting for the reaper to arrive?
    C                  D
Or just to die by the hand of love?
 G               C        D
Love for youth, love for youth
D  G                C       D
So, die young and stay pretty

Leave only the best behind
Slipping sensibilities
Tragedy in your own dream, oh

Ah, you sit all alone in your rocking chair
Transistor pressed against an ear
Were you waiting at the bus stop all your life?
Or, just to die by the hand of love?

Love for youth, love for youth
So, live fast 'cause it won't last

Dearly near senility
(Dearly near senility)
Was it good, or maybe, you won't tell?

Die young and stay pretty
You got to live fast 'cause it won't last, no-no,
no
Die young and stay pretty, oh-ho, ho
Live fast 'cause it won't last, no-no
Die young, stay pretty
You got to live fast 'cause it won't last, no-no,
no
Die young, die young, stay pretty, a-ha, haha
Live fast 'cause it won't last, no-no, no
Die young and stay pretty, oh-ho, ho
