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