Capo 2
[Verse]
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
[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,
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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."
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
B C#m*
These are the night that never die
C#m*
My father told me
[Instrumental]
A - E - B - C#m - B
