Capo 2
[Verse]
Bm
Once upon a younger year
Bm
When all our shadows disappeared
A Bm
The animals inside came out to play
Bm
Went face to face with all our fears
Bm
Learned our lessons through the tears
A Bm
Made memories we knew would never fade
[Pre-chorus]
G
One day my father, he told me
D
"Son, don't let it slip away"
A Bm
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
G
"When you get older
D
Your wild heart will live for younger days
A B*
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
[Chorus] (single strum)
G D
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
A Bm
So live a life you will remember."
G D
My father told me when I was just a child
A Bm
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
[Instrumental]
G D A Bm A
[Verse]
Bm
When thunderclouds start pouring down
Bm
Light a fire they can't put out
A Bm
Carve your name into those shining stars
Bm
He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores.
Bm
Don't forsake this life of yours.
A Bm
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."
[Pre-chorus]

Think of me if ever you're afraid."
