"I Hope You Dance"

Em   C   G   D       Em   C   D     Em   C   G   D     Em   C   D

G 
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
                       Em
You get your fill to eat, but always have that hunger
               C
May you never take onw single breath for granted
              D       
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
                C                              D                              
  G
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
                     C                   D                      G
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
            Am                           G                       C
Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance 
                                                                     D
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

                     Em  C  G  D
I hope you dance
                     Em  C   D
I hope you dance

                   G
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
            Em
Never settle for the path of least resistance
            C
Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking
             D
Loving might be a mistake, but it's worth making
           C                           D                      G
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
                           C                    D               G
When you come close to selling out reconsider
                 Am                G                        C      
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
                                                                     D
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

                     Em  C  G  D                       Em  C  D
I hope you dance              I hope you dance
                     Em  C  G  D                       Em  C  D
I hope you dance              I hope you dance

                   C                                D                         
 G
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
                     C                         D                  G
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
            Am                          G                         C
Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance 
                                                                      D
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

   Em  C  G  D                                          Em  C  D
Dance                                 I hope you dance
                     Em  C  G  D                        Em  C  D
I hope you dance                I hope you dance   
                     Em  C  G  D                        Em  C  D 
I hope you dance                I hope you dance

Em  C  G  D     Em  C  D    Em  C  G  D    Em  C  G   Em
