[Intro]
C Am F C
[Verse 1]
C
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
Am
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
F
May you never take one single breath for granted
G
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
F G C
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
F G C
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Dm C F
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
F G
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
[Chorus]
Am F C
I hope you dance
Am F G
I hope you dance
[Verse 2]
C
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Am
Never settle for the path of least resistance
F
Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking
G
Loving might be a mistake, but it's worth making
F G C
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
F G C
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Dm C F
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
F G
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
[Chorus]
Am F C
I hope you dance (Time - is a wheel in constant motion - always rolling us along)
Am F G
I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years And wonder where
those years have gone)
[Bridge]
F G C
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
F G C
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Dm Am F
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
F G
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
[Chorus]
Am F C
Dance
Am F G
I hope you dance
