capo 2 


C#m 
Once upon a younger year 
     C#m 
When all our shadows disappeared 
    B                          C#m 
The animals inside came out to play 
     C#m 
When face to face with all our fears 
C#m 
Learned our lessons through the tears 
     B                            C#m 
Made memories we knew would never fade 

           A 
One day my father—he told me, 
            E 
"Son, don't let it slip away" 
   B                                C#m 
He took me in his arms, I heard him say, 
   
              A 
"When you get older 
                    E 
Your wild life will live for younger days 
B                          B * 
Think of me if ever you're afraid." 


(Pre-Chorus : single strum) 
              A                             E 
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind 
          B               C#m 
So live a life you will remember." 
          A                         E 
My father told me when I was just a child 
              B                 C#m 
These are the nights that never die 

My father told me 



Instrumental : A - E - B - C#m - B 

     C#m                     
When thunder clouds start pouring down 
C#m         
Light a fire they can't put out 
B                                    C#m 
Carve their name into those shinning stars 
         C#m 
He said, "Go adventure far beyond these shores. 
C#m 
Don't forsake this life of yours. 
B                                       C#m 
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."
