Verse 1:
 Em
Hey, once upon a younger year
   Em
When all our shadows disappeared
   D             Em
The animals inside came out to play
 Em
Hey, when face to face with all our fears
 Em
Learned our lessons through the tears
    D
Made memories we knew would never fade
       C
One day my father—he told me,

Pre-Chorus:
      G
"Son, don't let it slip away"
  D                Em
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
        C
"When you get older
           G
Your wild life will live for younger days
 D              D*
Think of me if ever you're afraid."

Chorus:
      C                G
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
      D        Em
So live a life you will remember."
      C
My father told me when I was just a child
       D
These are the nights that never die

My father told me

Verse 2:
   Em
When thunder clouds start pouring down
 Em
Light a fire they can't put out
    D            Em
Carve your name into those shinning 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 where you are."
      C
One day my father—he told me,

"Son, don't let it slip away."

Your wild life will live for younger days

Think of me if ever you're afraid."

So live a life you will remember."
