Tom: B
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..

These are the nights that never die
