[Verse 1: Brian May]
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams

[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury]
There's no chance for us

[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]
Who wants to live forever?

[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Brian May & Freddie Mercury]
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
[Outro: Brian May]
Who waits forever anyway?
[Orchestral Section]
