Capo fret 1
[Verse]
Dm
Once upon a younger year
Dm
When all our shadows disappeared
C Dm
The animals inside came out to play
Dm
Went face to face with all our fears
Dm
Learned our lessons through the tears
C Dm
Made memories we knew would never fade
[Pre-chorus]
A#
One day my father, he told me
F
"Son, don't let it slip away"
C Dm
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
A#
"When you get older
F
Your wild heart will live for younger days
C C*
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
[Chorus] (single strum)
A# F
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
C Dm
So live a life you will remember."
A# F
My father told me when I was just a child
C Dm
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
[Instrumental]
A# F C Dm C
[Verse]
Dm
When thunderclouds start pouring down
Dm
Light a fire they can't put out
C Dm
Carve your name into those shining stars
Dm
He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores.
Dm
Don't forsake this life of yours.
C Dm
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."
[Pre-chorus]
