Long [G] live the walls we crashed [C] through
I had the time of my [Em] life, with you [D]

How the kingdom lights [Em] shined just for me and [D] you
And I was screaming long [G] live all the magic we [C] made
And bring on all the [Em] pretenders
I'm not [D] afraid
Singing, long [G] live all the mountains we [C] moved
I had the time of my [Em] life fighting dragons with [D] you
And long, long [G] live that look on your [C] face
And bring on all the [Em] pretenders
One [C] day, we will be [G] remembered
