[Verse 1]
Am            Em
Seize the medication,
Am
Teach yourself to
    C G
fight,
Am              Em
I'm here making money,
        Am
For the first time
      C  G
in my life,
Am         Em
And if I'm losing,
  Am
I know it's just
      C G
a phase,
Am
When I'm feeling
 Em
 down,
Am
This what I'll
  C G
say.


[Chorus]
F
Na-na-na-na,
G
Look into my eyes,
A
Na-na-na-na,
C
Never waste your
time,
F
Na-na-na-na,
G
It's just you and I,
  A
Tonight it feels like,
 (Na-na-na-na),
      C
We're never gonna die,
(Never gonna die),
(We’re never gonna die).


[Verse 2]
Am       Em
Viva liberation,
Am
Put the world to
    C G
right,
Am          Em
Alcohol temptation,
     Am
If I wanna waste my
   C G
time,
        Am      Em
Singing I don't need a,
Am              C G
Monkey on my back,
Am             Em
Life can be so brutal,
   Am              C G
Prepare for an attack.


[Chorus]
F
Na-na-na-na,

Tonight it feels like,
 (Na-na-na-na),
      C
We're never gonna die,

(You ready, shortstraw.
? C'mon,).


[Bridge]
  Am7
I see luxury flats,
 I don't
 see luxury people,
Em
Just flat cats with
Emmaj7
deaths
stats, they gulp
     C
like treacle,
If you question shit,
                D
then you're paranoid,
    D
The ones who say that,
 are the ones to avoid,
               Am7
They won't see eye
to eye,
there's no coming
to terms,
   Em
No common ground,
no matter
Emmaj7
where you turn,
C
Try to go one way
just
 to come back around
again,
G
Two steps forward,
that's
G#
one step back to them,
Am
We jumped out of the
 plane
without our parachute,
Em
Blessed to be
underground
Emmaj7
voice for the
lost youth,
C
Every time we press
play
we are stuck on
repeat,
      D
Every time I take
a step,
I end up burning
my feet,
              Am
They say, "We don't
appreciate,
 we can't appreciate",
             Em
Straight out of the
 gate
         Emmaj7
when the prices
inflate,
C
When I was a kid I
used to gaze at the
 stars,
    D
Not knowing that when
they kill the planet,
 I'll fly to Mars.

[Chorus]
F
Na-na-na-na,
G
Look into my eyes,
A
Na-na-na-na,
C
Never waste your time,
F
Na-na-na-na,
G
It's just you and I,
  A
Tonight it feels like,
 (Na-na-na-na),
      C
We're never gonna die,
(Never gonna die),
 (We’re never gonna die).

How to play Never Gonna Die: key, chords and progression

Never Gonna Die by Stone (UK) is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 10 chords: Am, Em, C, G, F, A, Am7, Emmaj7, D and G#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am – Em – Am – C (ii – vi – ii – IV in G major). In solfa, that is reh – lah – reh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F, Emmaj7 and G# are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
