[Verse 1]
D  G
 I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
                 Em
You get your fill  to eat,
but always keep that hunger
        C
May you never take one single breath for granted
          D
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

[Pre-Chorus]
               C            D                         G
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
             C       D
Whenever one door closes,
                 G
I hope one more opens
          Am                G/B                C
Promise me  that you'll give   faith a fighting chance
                                            D
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
              Em C G D/Gb
I hope you dance

[Chorus]
          Em     C
I hope you  dance

[Verse 2]
D           G
 I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
      Em
Never settle for the path of least resistance
            C
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin'
            D
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin'

[Pre-Chorus]
      C             D                    G
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
                   C
When you come close to sellin' out,
D       G
 reconsider
            Am         G/B                 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/Gb
I hope you dance

[Chorus]
          Em     C
I hope you  dance
D                Em C G D/Gb
 I hope you dance
          Em     C
I hope you  dance

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

[Chorus]

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