TUNING : STANDARD [eBGDAE]
CAPO : 6th Fret
VERSE :
Am
Hey, once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
G Am
The animals inside came out to play
Am
Hey, went face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
G Am
Made memories we knew would never fade
Pre-Chorus :
F
One day my father—he told me,
C
"Son, don't let it slip away."
G Am
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
F
"When you get older
C
Your wild heart will live for younger days
G
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
CHORUS :
F C
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
G Am
So live a life you will remember."
F C
My father told me when I was just a child
G Am
These are the nights that never die
My father told me

When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
