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

Your wild heart will live for younger days
E B*
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
[Chorus] (single strum)
D A
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
E F#m
So live a life you will remember."

My father told me when I was just a child

These are the nights that never die
My father told me
