[Verse 1]
I [G]hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your [Em]fill to eat
but always keep that hunger
May you [C]never take one
single breath for granted
God for[D]bid love ever leave you empty handed

[Pre-chorus 1]
I hope you [C]still feel small
[D]when you stand beside the [G]ocean
Whenever [C]one door clo[D]ses
I hope one more o[G]pens
Promise [Am]me that you'll g[G]ive
faith a [C]fighting chance
And when you get the choice
to sit it out [D]or dance

[Chorus 1]
I hope you [Em]dance[C][G][D]
I hope [Em]you d[C]ance[D]

[Verse 2]
I hope you [G]never fear
those mountains in the distance
Never [Em]settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' [C]might mean takin' chances,
but they're worth takin'
Lovin' [D]might be a mistake,
but it's worth makin'

[Pre-chorus 2]
Don't [C]let some hell- [D]bent heart
leave you [G]bitter
When you come [C]close to sellin' [D]out,
[G]reconsider
Give the [Am]heavens above
[G]more than just a [C]passing glance
And when you get the choice
to sit it out [D]or dance

[Chorus 2]

I hope you [Em]dance[C][G][D]
I hope [Em]you d[C]ance[D]

[Pre-chorus 3]
I hope you [C]still feel small
[D]when you stand beside the [G]ocean
Whenever [C]one door clo[D]ses
I hope one more o[G]pens
Promise [Am]me that you'll g[G]ive faith
a [C]fighting chance
And when you get the choice
to sit it out [D]or dance

[Em](Where those [C]years have [D]gone?
