Capo:3
(Verse 1)
I said remember this [G] moment
In the back of my mind [C]
The time we stood with our [Em] shaking hands
The [D] crowds in stands [C] went wild
We were the kings and the [G] queens
And they read off our [C] names
The night you danced like you [Em] knew
Our lives would never [D] be the same [C]
You held your head like a [Em] hero
On a history book page [C]
It was the end of a decade [D]
But the start of an age [C]
(Chorus)
Long [G] live the walls we crashed [C] through
How the kingdom lights [Em] shined just for me and [D] you
I was screaming long [G] live all the magic we [C] made
And bring on all the [Em] pretenders
One [C] day, we will be [G] remembered
(Verse 2)
I said remember this [G] feeling
I pass the pictures [C] around
Of all the years that we [Em] stood there
On the [D] side-lines wishing for right now
We are the kings and the [G] queens
You traded your baseball cap for a [C] crown
When they gave us our [Em] trophies
And we [D] held them up for our [C] town
And the cynics were [Em] outraged
Screaming, [C] "This is absurd!"
'Cause for a moment a [Em] band of thieves
In ripped-up jeans got to [C] rule the world
(Chorus)
Long [G] live the walls we crashed [C] through
How the kingdom lights [Em] shined just for me and [D] you
I was screaming long [G] live all the magic we [C] made
And bring on all the [Em] pretenders
I'm not [D] afraid
Long [G] live all the mountains we [C] moved
I had the time of my [Em] life fighting dragons with [D] you
I was screaming long [G] live that look on your [C] face
And bring on all the [Em] pretenders
One [C] day, we will be [G] remembered
(Bridge)
[C] Hold on to [Em] spinning around
Confetti [C] [Em] falls to the ground
May these [C] memories break our fall
(Verse 3)
Will you take a [G] moment,
Promise me [C] this
That you'll stand by me [Em] forever
But if [D] God forbid fate should step [C] in
And force us into a [G] goodbye
If you have children some [C] day
When they point to the [Em] pictures [D]
Please tell them my [C] name
Tell them how the [C] crowds went wild
Tell them how I [D] hope they shine
(Change)
Long [G] live the walls we crashed [C] through
I had the time of my [Em] life, with you [D]
(slow down progressively)
[G] [C] [Em] [D] [G] [Cadd9] [Em7] [D]
[Cadd9]Oo-oo-ooh. [D]
(Verse 4)
So [G]I'll watch your life in [Em7]pictures
Like I used to watch you [Cadd9]sleep
And I'll feel you [D]forget me
Like I used to feel you [G]breathe
And I'll keep up with our [Em7]old friends
Just to ask them how you [Cadd9]are.
Hope it's nice where you [D]are.
And I [Cadd9]hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
And [G]something reminds you, you wish you had stayed.
You can [Cadd9]plan for a change in the weather and time,
but [D]I never planned on you changing your mind.
(Chorus/Outro)
So [Cadd9]I'll go sit on the floor,
Wearing [G]your clothes.
All that I know is I [Cadd9]don't know
How to be something you [D]miss.
I never thought we'd have a [G]last [Em7]kiss.
Never imagined we'd [Cadd9]end like [Em7] [D]this.
[C]Your name forever the name on my [D]lips.
Just like our [G]last kiss.
Forever the name on my [Em7]lips.
Forever the name on my [Cadd9]lips. [D]
Just like our [G]last.
