Capo 3
GCEm
I saw the trees change
DGCEmD
That golden glittering evening
GCEm
I fell asleep there
DGC
and all around me angels were singing
EmDG
and I dreamed I was aging away
CEmDGCEmD (2x)
GCEm
I saw the fu-ture
DGCEmD
and I still had all my close friends
GC
I saw my daugh-ter
EmDGC
in love with ponies and roses
EmD
she looked just like her mother and
GCEmD
With my heart shining through my chest
GCEmD
I provided her with light to grow
GCEmD
With my heart shining through my chest
GCG
I will light her way back home
ChorusCEmDGC
and I know that life may be passing me by
EmD
but I wanna be eighteen forever here
GCEmDGC
and I hope that life's what I'm feeling inside
EmD
'cause I'm gonna be eighteen forever there
GCEmD
and I swear I will do my best
GCG
To have the time of my life while I'm here
CEmDGCEmD (3x)
GCEm
When I awoke there
DGCEmD
I was overcome with direction
GCEm
and as I walked home
DGC
I remembered lilacs and handsome nights when I
EmD
painted my hands with gold
GCEmD
And with my heart shining through my chest
GCEmD
I illuminate the road ahead
GCEmD
But with my heart shining through my chest
GCG
I'm not ready to take it yet
ChorusCEmDGC
and though the road has been laid out and now bends away
EmDGC
can we just be still for a second more?
EmDGC
I know the road will move beneath our frightened feet
EmDG
even if we decide not to move at all
CEmDG
My heart shining through my chest
CEmDG
I'll put one foot ahead
CEmD
with my heart shining though my chest
GC
I'll take your hand in mine
EmDG
and lead you through the night
Chorus
....
GCEmD
and I swear I will do my best
GCEmD
if you swear you will do your best
GCEmD
we should all swear to do our best
GCG
To have the time of our lives while we're here
CEmDGCEmD (3x)
