Verse
[Dm]Once upon a younger year
When [Dm]all our shadows disappeared
The [C]animals inside came out to [Dm]play
When [Dm]face to face with all our fears
[Dm]Learned our lessons through the tears
Made [C]memories we knew would never [Dm]fade
Prechorus
One day my [A#]father he told me,
"Son, don't [F]let it slip away"
He [C]took me in his arms, I heard him [Dm]say,
"When you get [A#]older
Your wild life will [F]live for younger days
[C]Think of me if ever you're afraid."
Chorus: single strum
He said, "One [A#]day you'll leave this world be[F]behind
So live a [C]life you will re[Dm]remember."
My father [A#]told me when I was just a [F]child
These are the [C]nights that never [Dm]die
My father told me

Verse
When [Dm]thunderclouds start pouring down
[Dm]Light a fire they can't put out
[C]Carve their name into those shining [Dm]stars

[C]I'll guide you home no matter where you [Dm]are."
