   Dsus2
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
              Bm
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
         G
May you never take one single breath for granted
        A
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
             G                A
I hope you still feel small when you stand
           Dsus2
beside the ocean
         G               A               Dsus2
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
        Em                   D                  G
Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance
                                              A
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Chorus:
            Bm  G D A
I hope you dance
            Bm  G A
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the
distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're
worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin'
Don't let some Hell bent heart leave you bitter
If you come close to sellin' out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just
a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Chorus:
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in
constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years)
I hope you dance
(And wonder where those years have gone.)

             G                A
I hope you still feel small when you
                 Dsus2
stand beside the ocean
         G               A               Dsus2
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
        Em                   Dsus2              G
Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance
                                              A
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Chorus:
Dance, I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion
always rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years)
I hope you dance
(And wonder where those years have gone.)
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
And I hope you dance
I pray your dancing
I hope you dance
