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

           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

He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind

So live a life you will remember."

My father told me when I was just a child
              B                 C#m
These are the nights that never die

My father told me

( A  E  B )
( C#m ) (4x)

     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."
