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