Capo 3

          G5     C5        E5
I saw the trees change
            D5             G5      C5    E5   D5
That golden glittering evening
       G5      C5       E5
I fell asleep there
                  D5              G5      C5
and all around me angels were singing
      E5            D5       G5
and I dreamed I was aging away

          G5  C5     E5
I saw the fu-ture
            D5            G5           C5  E5 D5
and I still had all my close friends
         G5     C5   
I saw my daugh-ter
E5             D5          G5      C5
  in love with ponies and roses
           E5            D5      
she looked just like her mother and
G5        C5             E5           D5
 With my heart shining through my chest
     G5              C5        E5     D5
I provided her with light to grow
G5        C5             E5         D5
 With my heart shining through my chest
       G5         C5        G5
I will light her way back home

[chorus]
      C5         E5          D5          G5     C5
and I know that life may be passing me by
               E5          D5    
but I wanna be eighteen forever here
G5      C5         E5              D5          G5    C5
 and I hope that life's what I'm feeling inside
                    E5          D5
'cause I'm gonna be eighteen forever there
G5        C5          E5    D5
 and I swear I will do my best
            G5          C5              G5
To have the time of my life while I'm here

       G5     C5     E5
When I awoke there
          D5             G5     C5  E5  D5
I was overcome with direction
         G5      C5     E5
and as I walked home
             D5          G5        C5
I remembered lilacs and handsome nights when I
E5         D5
painted my hands with gold
    G5       C5             E5         D5
And with my heart shining through my chest
     G5           C5     E5    D5
I illuminate the road ahead
G5           C5             E5         D5
But with my heart shining through my chest
        G5        C5       G5
I'm not ready to take it yet

[Chorus]

C5                E5                 D5                 G5    C5
  and though the road has been laid out and now bends away
               E5          D5           G5   C5
can we just be still for a second more?
               E5           D5                    G5     C5
I know the road will move beneath our frightened feet
           E5            D5          G5
even if we decide not to move at all
   C5             E5         D5     G5
My heart shining through my chest
             C5     E5    D5   G5
I'll put one foot ahead
        C5             E5        D5
with my heart shining though my chest
               G5       C5
I'll take your hand in mine
     E5      D5           G5
and lead you through the night

[chorus]
....
G5        C5          E5    D5
 and I swear I will do my best
G5        C5             E5      D5
 if you swear you will do your best
G5          C5            E5     D5
 we should all swear to do our best
            G5          C5              G5
To have the time of our lives while we're here
