[Intro]
[C][Verse 1]
I say remember this [C]moment in the back of my [F]mind
The time we stood with our [Am]shaking hands
The [G]crowds in stands went [F]wild
We were the kings and the [C]queens
And they read off our [F]names
It was the end of a [Am]era [G]but the start of an [F]age
You held your head like a [Am]hero on a history book [F] [G]page
[Chorus]
And I was screaming Long [C]
live the walls we crashed [F]through
How the kingdom lights [Am]shined just for me and [G]you
I was screaming, "long [C]live all the magic we [F]made"
And bring on all the [Am]pretenders
One [G]day, we will be [C]remembered
[Instrumental]
[C][V[Am][Vers[F]erse [x2]2]
[C] [Am]Girls [F] [There's]carrying [glitter]their [on]shoes [C] [Am] [the]down [F] [floor]in the [after] [the] [party] [C] [Am] [F]lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the [C]hardwood [Am] [F]floor
You and me from the night before but
[Chorus 1]
[C] Don't [Am]read [F]the [C]last page
[C] But I [Am]stay [F]when you're lost and
I'm scared and you’re turning [C]away
I [Am]want [F]your [C]midnights
[C] But I'll be cleaning up [Am]
bottles with you on [F]New Year’s [C]Day
[Instrumental]
[C] [Am] [G] [F] [G] [F]
[Bridge]
And the [G]years passed
Like [Am]scenes of a [F]show
The [G]Professor said to [Am]write what you [F]know
Lookin' [G]backwards
Might [C]be the only [G]way to move [F]forward
Then the [G]actors
Were [Am]hitting their [F]marks
And the [G]slow dance
Was [Am]alight with the [F]sparks
And the [G]tears fell
In [C] [G]synchronicity with the [F]score
And at [G]last
She knew [C]what the [G]agony had been [F]for
[Bridge 2]
[G]Hold on [Am]to spinning [F]around
[G]Confetti [Am]falls to [F]the ground
May these [G]memories break our [F]fall
[Bridge 3]
[C]Please [Am]don't [F]ever become a [G]stranger whose
[C]Laugh [Am]I could [F]recognize [G]anywhere
[C]Please [Am]don't [F]ever become a [G]stranger whose
[C]Laugh [Am]I could [F]recognize [G]anywhere
[Chorus]

[C]C [Am]Am F [F] [G] [And] [I] [will] [hold] [on] [to] [you]G
[Chorus]
and Long [C] [Am] [F]live
the [G]walls we crashed [C] [Am] [F]through
How the [G]kingdom lights [C] [Am] [F]shined
[G]for me and [C] [Am] [F]you
[G]Long, long [C] [Am] [F]live
All the [G]magic we [C] [Am] [F]made
Bring on [G]all the [C] [Am] [F]pretenders
[G] [C] [Am] [F]F
We will be remembered
[G][O[C]ut[Am]ro][F]
The [C]only thing that's left is the [G]manuscript
One last souvenir from my trip to your [F]shores
[C]Now and then I reread the [G]manuscript
But the story isn't mine [F]anymore
