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
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 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
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.'
