The Nights

     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

[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
