Once upon a younger year
     Dbm
When all our shadows disappeared
    B                          Dbm
The animals inside came out to play
     Dbm
Went face to face with all our fears
Dbm
Learned our lessons through the tears
     B                            Dbm
Made memories we knew would never fade
           A
One day my father, he told me
            E
"Son, don't let it slip away"
   B                                Dbm
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
              A                             E
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
          
B               Dbm
So live a life you will remember."
          
A                         E
My father told me when I was just a child
              
B                 Dbm
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
( 
A  E  B )
( 
Dbm ) (4x)
     
Dbm
When thunderclouds start pouring down
Dbm
Light a fire they can't put out
B                                  Dbm
Carve your name into those shining stars
             
Dbm
He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores
Dbm
Don't forsake this life of yours
     
B                                  Dbm
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."
