Chords for Joe Jackson on Letterman (Nineteen Forever)

_ Thank you.
_ _ _ Our next guest is a unique and talented composer and performer who recently composed the score for the motion picture Tucker.
His new album, which I have a copy of right here, is entitled Blaze of Glory.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to this program Joe Jackson. _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ Sometimes _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
I feel [D] so alive
[G] _
Sometimes I [Dm] see so [F] clear
[G] _
Just like the way [Dm] we always [G] were
So young and free [Dm] from [C] fear
Lose my [G] fear of born [F] and _ _ dying
_ _ _ [C] _
And all the [G] clouds just [Dm] disappear
_ [F] _ _ _ Only [C] _ _
_ [G] my mirror sees me [F]
crying
_ _ _ Each [C] _ _
time [G] I lose _ [Dm] another _ year
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Wouldn't it be a drag to be [Gm] like you?
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Settling down [D] in heavy gear
[Eb] Telling me what to do
Well, [D] I've got [G] to stay 19 [Dm] forever
Yes, [G] I will 19 _ [Dm] forever
No matter [G] what you say _ 19 [Dm] forever
Yes, [G] I am 19 _ [Dm] forever
_ [G] _
We can do [Dm] magic in these [G] times
Be what we [Dm] want to [G] be _
Well, I'll be rock and [Dm] roll _ [G] stars
Immortal [D] on TV
_ [C] _ _
And if you [G] see me looking [F] _
tired
_ _ _ _ [C] I've just been [G] sweeping _ [Dm] through the [F] night
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
But I've [G] got something to keep me [Dm]
quiet
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
So we [G] can dance all [Dm] night
_ _ _ Wouldn't _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
it be a drag to be [G] like _ _ them?
_ _ _ [C] They're gonna sell [D] out everything
_ [Eb] But I won't get fooled again
[Dm] Cause I've [G] got to be 19 _ [Dm] forever
Yes, [G] I will 19 [Dm] forever
No [G] matter what you say 19 [Dm] forever
This is my [G] _
life 19 [Dm] forever
_ _ [Bb] _
You better _ [Fm] believe [Bb] it
You know my [Fm] dreams still [G] lie
_ _ [Dm] You _ _ [Bb] _ _
can love it or [Fm] leave [Bb] it
But I'm _ [Fm] here for [G] advice
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
19 forever
[Dm] _ Yes, [G] I am 19 [Dm] forever
I'm gonna [G] be 19 [Dm] forever
This is my _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ life _ _ _ _
