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

Your wild heart will live for younger days
F B*
Think of me if ever you're afraid."

He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
F Gm
So live a life you will remember."
