Bm
(hey) once upon a younger year
Bm
when all our shadows disappeared
A Bm
the animals inside came out to play..
Bm
(hey) went face to face with all our fears
Bm
learned our lessons through the tears
A Bm
made memories we knew would never fade..
G
one day my father..
D
he told me "son, don't let it slip away"
A
he took me in his arms
Bm
i heard him say.. (hey)
G
when you get older..
D
your wild heart will live
for younger days..
A
think of me if ever you're afraid..
[Chorus]
G
he said, one day..
D
you'll leave this world behind..
A Bm
so live a life you will remember..
G
my father told me
D
when i was just a child..
A
these are the nights..
Bm
that never die.. my father told me
G D A Bm A
(hey, hey) (hey, hey)
G D A Bm
(hey, hey)
G D A Bm A
(hey, hey) (hey, hey)
G D A Bm A
(hey, hey) (hey, hey)
Bm
when thunderclouds start pouring down
Bm
light a fire they can't put out
A Bm
carve your name into those shining stars..
Bm
he said, go venture far beyond the shores
Bm
don't forsake this life of yours
A
i'll guide you home
Bm
no matter where you are..
G
one day my father..
D
he told me "son, don't let it slip away"
A
he took me in his arms
Bm
i heard him say.. (hey)
G
when you get older..

your wild heart will live
for younger days..
A
