CAPO on 4th Fret
Verse I:
Bm
Once upon a younger year
Bm
When all our shadows disappeared
G A Bm
The animals inside came out to play
Bm
When face to face with all our fears

Learned our lessons through the tears

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 life will live for younger days
A A *single strum
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
Chorus:
G D
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
A Bm
So live a life you will remember."

My father told me when I was just a child

These are the nights that never die
Verse II:

When thunder clouds start pouring down

Light a fire they can't put out
G A Bm
Carve their name into those shinning stars

Don't forsake this life of yours.
G A Bm
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."
