* one strum [Verse 1]
  Em
Hey, once upon a younger year

      Em
When all our shadows disappeared

      D                         Em
The animals inside came out to play

  Em
Hey, when face to face with all our fears

 Em
Learned our lessons through the tears

       D
Made memories we knew would never fade

             C
One day my father—he told me,
[Pre-Chorus]
           G
"Son, don't let it slip away"

    D                                Em
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,

               C
"When you get older

                     G
Your wild life will live for younger days

 D                           D*
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
[Chorus]
           C                               G
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind

           D               Em
So live a life you will remember."

           C
My father told me when I was just a child

              D
These are the nights that never die
My father told me [Instrumental] C G D Em (x2) [Verse 2]
      Em
When thunder clouds start pouring down

  Em
Light a fire they can't put out

       D                        Em
Carve your name into those shinning stars

    Em
He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores.

  Em
Don't forsake this life of yours.

      D
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."

            C
One day my father—he told me,
[Pre-Chorus]
             G
"Son, don't let it slip away."

       D                          Em
When I was just a kid I heard him say,

               C
"When you get older

                     G
Your wild life will live for younger days

  D                          D*
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
[Chorus]
              C*                           G*
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind

           D*              Em*
So live a life you will remember."

           C*                         G*
My father told me when I was just a child

               D*              Em*
These are the nights that never die
My father told me [Outro]
               D*              Em*
These are the nights that never die
My father told me [Instrumental] C G D Em (x2)
