(hey)
Em
once upon a younger year
Em
when all our shadows disappeared
D Em
the animals inside came out to play.. (hey)
Em
hey, went face to face with all our fears
Em
learned our lessons through the tears
D G
made memories we knew would never fade..
C
one day my father he told me
G
son, don't let it slip away
D
he took me in his arms
Em
i heard him say.. (hey)
C
when you get older
G
your wild heart will live for younger days
D
think of me if ever you're afraid..
Chorus
C
he said, one day..
G
you'll leave this world behind..
D Em
so live a life you will remember..
C
my father told me
G
when i was just a child..
D Em
these are the nights that never die..
my father told me
C G D Em -D

C G D Em -D
(hey, hey) (hey, hey)
Em
when thunderclouds start pouring down
Em
light a fire they can't put out
D Em
carve your name into those shining stars..
Em
he said, go venture far beyond the shores
Em
don't forsake this life of yours
D
i'll guide you home no matter
Em
where you are..
C
one day my father he told me
G

D Em
when i was just a kid, i heard him say..

your wild heart will live for younger days
