Chords to Live Forever by Oasis

This is a quite simple song to play with only 7 chords.

G  D Am7  C  D – E – F

This is one of those strange songs where it’s hard to tell which is the chorus and which is the verse. Does the song start with a chorus “Maybe, I don’t really want to know…” or is there no chorus at all? You decide.

Lyrics to the Oasis song Live Forever

The lyrics to this classic Oasis song released in on the 8th August 1994  from the debut Oasis album Definitely Maybe are reasonably easy to remember as they repeat themselves. This is apart from the “Maybe I will never be…” section which is only sung once. 

 

Maybe I don’t really wanna know
How your garden grows
‘Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?

Maybe I just wanna fly
Wanna live, I don’t wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don’t believe
Maybe you’re the same as me
We see things they’ll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I said maybe I don’t really wanna know
How your garden grows
‘Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
Now is not the time to cry
Now’s the time to find out why
I think you’re the same as me
We see things they’ll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don’t really wanna know
How your garden grows
‘Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?

Maybe I just wanna fly
Wanna live, I don’t wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don’t believe
Maybe you’re the same as me
We see things they’ll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
We’re gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
