The Nights

(Verse)
[Am] Once upon a younger year
When [Am] all our shadows disappeared
The [G] animals inside came out to [Am] play
When [Am] face to face with all our fears
[Am] Learned our lessons through the tears
Made [G] memories we knew would never [Am] fade

(Chorus)
One day my [F] father—he told me,
"Son, don't [C] let it slip away"
He [G] took me in his arms, I heard him [Am] say,

(Verse)
"When you get [F] older
Your wild life will [C] live for younger days
[G] Think of me if ever you're [G] afraid."

(Pre-chorus : single strum)
He said, "One [F] day you'll leave this world [C] behind
So live a [G] life you will [Am] remember."
My father [F] told me when I was just a [C] child
These are the [G] nights that never [Am] die
My father told me

(Instrumental)
[F] [C] [G] [Am] [G]

(Verse)
When [Am] thunder clouds start pouring down
[Am] Light a fire they can't put out
[G] Carve their name into those shinning [Am] stars
He said, " [Am] Go adventure far beyond these shores.
[Am] Don't forsake this life of yours.
[G] I'll guide you home no matter where you [Am] are."

(Chorus)
One day my [F] father—he told me,
"Son, don't [C] let it slip away"
When [G] I was just a kid, I heard him [Am] say,

"When you get [F] older
Your wild life will [C] live for younger days
[G] Think of me if ever you're [G] afraid."

(Pre-chorus : single strum)
He said, "One [F] day you'll leave this world [C] behind
So live a [G] life you will [Am] remember."
My father [F] told me when I was just a [C] child
These are the [G] nights that never [Am] die
My father told me

(Instrumental)
[F] [C] [G] [Am] [G]
[F] [C]

(Outro)
These are the [G] night that never [Am] die
[Am] My father told me

(Instrumental)
[F] [C] [G] [Am] [G]
