[Verse 1]
[G]I hop[Am]e you never lose your

[D]breath [C]for[G] gra[C]nte[G]d
[Am]God [D]forbid love ever leave
[C]you[G] em[D]pty handed
I [Am]hope you [D]still feel small [C]when you stand
[G]beside [C]the[G] ocean
Whenev[C]er one door closes I
hope one more [G]opens
Promise me that you'll give
fate the fighting chance
And [D]when you get the
[Am]choice to sit it out or dance

I hope [C]you dance

[Verse 3]
I hope you nev[G]er fear those
mountain[Am]s in the distance
[G]Never [C]settle for the path of
least [D]resistance
[Em]Living might mean taking chances
but they're worth taking
Lovin' [Am]might [C]be a [D]mistake
but it's worth making
Don't [G]let [D]som[C]e h[G]ell bent
[Am]heart [D]leave you bitter
When you come [C]close[G][C][G]
to selling [D]out [Am]reconsider
Give [D]the heavens above more than
just a passing [C]glance
And [G]when [C]you[G] get the choice
to [Am]sit it [Dsus4]out or dan[D]ce

I hope [C]you dance
[G](Time is a wheel in [D]constant
motion always)

[D]on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those [C]years have
gone)

[Verse 5]
I hope you still [G]feel [C]sma[G]ll when you
stand by [Am]the o[G]cean
Whenever [C]one door closes I hope
[G]one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith the
fighting chance
And [D]when you [Am]get the choice
to sit it [D]out or dance
[C]Dance I hope you dance
