Verso 1:
Dm
Hey, once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
CDm
The animals inside came out to play
Hey, When face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
CDm
Make memories we knew would never fade
Bb
One day my father he told me
F
Son, don't let this slip away
CDm
He took me in his arms, I heard him say
Bb
When you get older
F
Your wild heart will live for younger days
CC
Think of me if ever you're afraid
Refrão:
BbF
He said, one day you'll leave this world behind
CDm
So live a life you will remember
BbF
My father told me when I was just a child
CDm
These are the nights that never die
C
My father told me
Instrumental 4x: ( BbFCDm )
Verso 2:
Dm
When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
CDm
Carve your name into those shining stars
He said go venture far beyond these shores
Don't forsake this life of yours
CDm
I'll guide you home no matter where you are
Bb
One day my father he told me
F
Son, don't let this slip away
CDm
When I was just a kid, I heard him say
Bb
When you get older
F
Your wild heart will live for younger days
CC
Think of me if ever you're afraid
Refrão:
BbF
He said, one day you'll leave this world behind
CDm
So live a life you will remember

My father told me when I was just a child

These are the nights that never die
