Verse: Em Once upon a younger year Em When all our shadows disappeared D Em The animals inside came out to play Em When face to face with all our fears Em Learned our lessons through the tears D Em Made memories we knew would never fade Pre-Chorus: C One day my father he told me, G "Son, don't let it slip away" D Em He took me in his arms, I heard him say, C "When you get older G Your wild life will live for younger days D D Think of me if ever you're afraid." Chorus: single strum: C G He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind D Em So live a life you will remember." C G My father told me when I was just a child D Em These are the nights that never die My father told me Interlude: C G D Em D Verse: Em When thunderclouds start pouring down Em Light a fire they can't put out D Em Carve their name into those shining stars Em He said, "Go adventure far beyond these shores. Em Don't forsake this life of yours. D Em I'll guide you home no matter where you are." Pre-Chorus: C One day my father—he told me, G "Son, don't let it slip away" D Em When I was just a kid, I heard him say, C "When you get older G Your wild life will live for younger days D D Think of me if ever you're afraid." Chorus: single strum: C G He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind D Em So live a life you will remember." C G My father told me when I was just a child D Em These are the nights that never die My father told me Interlude: C G D Em D C G Outro: D Em These are the night that never die Em C G D Em D My father told me
