[Em]
Once upon a younger year
[Em]
When all our shadows disappeared
[D] [Em]
The Animals inside came out to play
[Em]
Went face to face with all our fears
[Em]
Learned our lessons through the tears
[D] [Em]
Made memories we knew would never fade
[C]
One day my father, he told me
[G]
son don't let it slip away
[D] [Em]
He took me in his arms, I heard him say
[C]
When you get older, your wild heart
[G]
will live for younger days
[D] [D]
Think of me if ever you're afraid
[C] [G]
He said one day you'll leave this world behind
[D] [Em]
So live a life you will remember
[C] [G]
My father told me when I was just a child
[D] [Em] [D]
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
[C] [G] [D] [Em] [D] (x2)
[Em]
When thunder clouds start pouring down
[Em]
Light a fire they can't put out
[D] [Em]
Carve their name into those shining stars
[Em]
He said, go adventure far beyond the shores
[Em]
Don't forsake this life of yours
[D] [Em]
I'll guide you home no matter where you are
[C]
One day my father, he told me
[G]
son don't let it slip away
[D] [Em]
When I was just a kid, I heard him say
[C]
When you get older, your wild heart
[G]
will live for younger days
[D] [D]
Think of me if ever you're afraid
[C] [G]
He said one day you'll leave this world behind
[D] [Em]
So live a life you will remember
[C] [G]
My father told me when I was just a child
[D] [Em] [D]
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
[C] [G] [D] [Em] [D]
[C] [G]
[D] [Em]
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
[C] [G] [D] [Em] [D] (x2)
