I Hope You Dance

   D
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
              Bm
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
         G
May you never take one single breath for granted,
        A
God forbid love ever leaves you empty handed,

             G                A                       D
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
         G               A               D
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
         Em                  F#m               G
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
                                          A
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

            Bm  G  D  A
I hope you dance....
           Bm  G  A
I hope you dance,
            D
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
      Bm
Never settle for the path of least resistance
        G
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking,
        A
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making

       G                 A                D
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
                G              A         D
When you come close to selling out reconsider
          Em            F#m               G
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
                                              A
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...


            Bm  G  D  A
I hope you dance....
            Bm  G  A
I hope you dance,
           Bm  G  D  A
I hope you dance....
            Bm  G  A
I hope you dance,

Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years
and wonder where those years have gone.
             G                A                       D
