* = one strum [Verse 1]
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
Went 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
[Pre-chorus]
           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 heart will live for younger days

B                           B*
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
[Chorus] (single strum)

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 A E B C#m B A E B C#m B [Verse 2]
     C#m
When thunderclouds start pouring down

C#m
Light a fire they can't put out

B                                  C#m
Carve your name into those shining stars

             C#m
He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores.

C#m
Don't forsake this life of yours.

     B                                  C#m
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."
