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 daysG
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 dieMy father told me

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