E                             B
He said one day, you'll leave this world behind
          G#m            F#
So live a life, you will remember
          E                         B
My father told me, when I was just a child
              G#m                F#
These are the nights, that never die


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


[Chorus]
           E
One day my father he told me,
            B
Son, don't-let-it slip away
   F#                               G#m  F#
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
              E
When you get older
                    B
Your wild life will live for younger days
G#m                        F#
Think of me if ever you're afraid.


[Pre-chorus]
             E                             B
He said, one day you'll leave this world behind
          F#              G#m
So live a life you will remember
          E                         B
My father told me when I was just a child
              F#                G#m     F#
These are the nights that never die, my father told me   
E              B               G#m             F#
                     These are the nights..


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


[Chorus]
           E
One day my father—he told me,
           B
Son, don't let it slip away
     F#                            G#m     F#
When I was just a kid, I heard him say,
             E
When you get older
                    B
Your wild life will live for younger days
G#m                        F#
Think of me if ever you're afraid


[Pre-chorus as Bridgey thing]
              E                             B
He said, One day you'll leave this world behind
          F#              G#m     F#
So live a life you will remember
          E                         B
My father told me when I was just a child
              F#                G#m     F#
These are the nights that never die, my father told me   
E              B                   G#m                F#
               ..my father told me   
              E
These are the nights..
              B
These are the nights..
              G#m                   F#
These are the nights that never die


[Pre-chorus as Outro]
              E                             B
He said one day, you'll leave this world behind
          G#m            F#
So live a life, you will remember.
          E                         B
My father told me, when I was just a child
              G#m                F#
These are the nights, that never die
