          G     C        Em
I saw the trees change
            D             G      C    Em   D
That golden glittering evening
       G      C       Em
I fell asleep there
                  D              G      C
and all around me angels were singing
      Em            D       G
and I dreamed I was aging away

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

chorus
      C         Em          D          G     C
and I know that life may be passing me by
               Em          D    
but I wanna be eighteen forever here
G      C         Em              D          G    C
 and I hope that life's what I'm feeling inside
                    Em          D
'cause I'm gonna be eighteen forever there
G        C          Em    D
 and I swear I will do my best
            G          C              G
To have the time of my life while I'm here

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

Chorus

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

chorus
....
G        C          Em    D
 and I swear I will do my best
G        C             Em      D
 if you swear you will do your best
G          C            Em     D
 we should all swear to do our best
            G          C              G
To have the time of our lives while we're here
