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