Verse:
Cm
Once upon a younger year
Cm
When all our shadows disappeared
G#A#Cm
The animals inside came out to play
Cm
When face to face with all our fears
Cm
Learned our lessons through the tears
G#A#Cm
Made memories we knew would never fade
Pre-chorus:
G#
One day my father he told me,
D#
"Son, donʼt let it slip away"
A#Cm
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 youʼre afraid."
Chorus:
G#D#
He said, "One day youʼll leave this world behind
A#Cm
So live a life you will remember."
G#D#
My father told me when I was just a child
A#Cm
These are the nights that never die
Verse:
Cm
When thunder clouds start pouring down
Cm
Light a fire they canʼt put out
G#A#Cm
Carve their name into those shinning stars
Cm
He said, "Go venture far beyond these shores.
Cm
Donʼt forsake this life of yours.
G#A#Cm
Iʼll guide you home no matter where you are."
Pre-chorus:
G#
One day my father he told me,
D#
"Son, donʼt let it slip away"

G#
"When you get older
D#
Your wild life will live for younger days
A#A#
Think of me if ever youʼre afraid."

G#D#
He said, "One day youʼll leave this world behind
A#Cm
So live a life you will remember."

These are the nights that never die
