G
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
                       Em7
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 when you stand beside the ocean
                C                    D             G
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
          Am7            G/B                  C
Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance
                      C                                D
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
 
            Em C  G  D/F#
I hope you dance
            Em C     D
I hope you dance
 
            G
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
            Em7
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
         Am7           G/B                       C
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
                      C                                      D
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance... Dance
 
            Em C  G  D/F#
I hope you dance
            Em C     D
I hope you dance
            Em C  G  D/F#
I hope you dance
            Em C     D
I hope you dance
 
G
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
                       Em7

               C
May you never take on 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

Chords are a little out of place, but otherwise this is, by far, the best-sounding version.

The chords are good but they sound on key with the capo on 3.

The pre chorus line is "Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance" not "fate the fighting chance". The whole song is about not being fatalistic and making your own luck.
