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

[Verse 1]
  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
           C          D                    G
I hope you still feel small standing by the ocean
          C        D                     G
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
        Am                G                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 ]
           Em  C  G  D
I hope you dance
           Em  C  D
I hope you dance

[Verse 2]
            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'
            C     D                G
Don't let some Hellbent heart leave you bitter
               C       D                 G
When you come close to sellin' 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

[Chorus]
           Em  C  G  D
I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
           Em  C  D
I hope you dance
           Em  C  G  D
I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
           Em  C  D
I hope you dance (Where those years have gone?)

[Verse 3]
           C          D                     G
I hope you still feel small standing by the ocean
          C        D                     G
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
        Am                G                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]
           F#m  D  A  E
I hope you dance
           F#m  D  E
I hope you dance
           F#m  D  A  E
I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
           F#m  D  E
I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder?)
