(Verse)
[Am]Once upon a younger year
When [Am]all our shadows disappeared
The [G]animals inside came out to [Am]play
When [Am]face to face with all our fears
[Am]Learned our lessons through the tears
Made [G]memories we knew would never [Am]fade
(Chorus)
One day my [F]father—he told me,
“Son, don’t [C]let it slip away”
He [G]took me in his arms, I heard him [Am]say,
(Verse)
“When you get [F]older
Your wild life will [C]live for younger days
[G]Think of me if ever you’re [G]afraid.”
(Pre-chorus : single strum)
He said, “One [F]day you’ll leave this world [C]behind
So live a [G]life you will [Am]remember.”
My father [F]told me when I was just a [C]child
These are the [G]nights that never [Am]die
My father told me
(Instrumental)
[F] [C] [G] [Am] [G]
(Verse)
When [Am]thunder clouds start pouring down
[Am]Light a fire they can’t put out
[G]Carve their name into those shinning [Am]stars
He said, ” [Am]Go adventure far beyond these shores.
[Am]Don’t forsake this life of yours.
[G]I’ll guide you home no matter where you [Am]are.”
(Chorus)
One day my [F]father—he told me,
“Son, don’t [C]let it slip away”
When [G]I was just a kid, I heard him [Am]say,
“When you get [F]older
Your wild life will [C]live for younger days
[G]Think of me if ever you’re [G]afraid.”
(Pre-chorus : single strum)
He said, “One [F]day you’ll leave this world [C]behind
So live a [G]life you will [Am]remember.”
My father [F]told me when I was just a [C]child
These are the [G]nights that never [Am]die
My father told me
(Instrumental)
[F] [C] [G] [Am] [G]
[F] [C]
(Outro)
These are the [G]night that never [Am]die
[Am]My father told me
(Instrumental)
[F] [C] [G] [Am] [G]
