CAPO on 4th Fret Bm x24432 A x02220 G 320033 D xx0232 [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 Bm Learned our lessons through the tears G A Bm 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." G D My father told me when I was just a child A Bm These are the nights that never die [Verse II] Bm When thunder clouds start pouring down Bm Light a fire they can't put out
G A Bm Carve their name into those shinning stars Bm He said, "Go venture far beyond these shores. Bm Don't forsake this life of yours. G A Bm I'll guide you home no matter where you are." [Pre-Chorus] G One day my father he told me, D "Son, don't let it slip away" A Bm When I was just a kid, 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." G D My father told me when I was just a child A Bm These are the nights that never die
