Am
Hey, once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
G Am
The animals inside came out to play
Am
Hey, when face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
G Am
Made memories we knew would never fade
F
One day my father he told me
C
Son, don't let this slip away
G Am
He took me in his arms, I heard him say
F
When you get older
C
Your wild heart will live for younger days
C/G G
Think of me if ever you're afraid
[Chorus]
F C
He said, one day you'll leave this world behind
G Am
So live a life you will remember
F C
My father told me when I was just a child
G Am
These are the nights that never die
G
My father told me
[Instrumental]
F C G Am x4
[Verse 2]
Am
When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
G Am
Carve your name into those shining stars
Am
He said go venture far beyond these shores
Don't forsake this life of yours
G Am
I'll guide you home no matter where you are
F
One day my father he told me
C
Son, don't let this slip away
G Am
When I was just a kid, I heard him say
F
When you get older
C
Your wild heart will live for younger days
C/G G
Think of me if ever you're afraid
[Chorus]
F C
He said, one day you'll leave this world behind
G Am
So live a life you will remember
F C
My father told me when I was just a child
G Am
These are the nights that never die
G
My father told me
[Instrumental]
F C G Am

These are the nights that never die
My father told me
