Intro: G C9 Em7 D/F# C9
G C9
I said remember this moment, in the back of my mind
Em7
The time we stood with our shaking hands
D/F# C9
The crowds and stands went wild
G
We were the Kings and the Queens
C9
And they read off our names
Em7
The night you danced like you knew our lives
D/F# C9
Would never be the same
Em7
You held your head like a hero
C9
On a history book page
Em7 D/F#
It was the end of a decade
C9
But the start of an age
G C9
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em7 D/F#
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G C9
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
Em7
And bring on all the pretenders
C9 G
One day we will be remembered
G
I said remember this feeling
C9
I passed the pictures around
Em7
Of all the years that we stood there
D/F# C9
On the side-lines wishing for right now
G
We are the Kings and the Queens
C9
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
Em7
When they gave us our trophies
D/F# C9
And we held them up for our town
Em7
And the cynics were outraged
C9
Screaming this is absurd
Em7
Cause for a moment a band of thieves
D/F# C9
In ripped up jeans got to rule the world

G C9
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em7 D/F#
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G C9
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
Em7
And bring on all the pretenders
D/F#
I'm not afraid
G C9
Long live all the mountains we moved
Em7 D/F#
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
G C9
I was screaming long live the look on your face
Em7
And bring on all the pretenders
C9 G
One day we will be remembered
C9 Em7 D/F#
Hold on to spinning around
C9 Em7 D/F#
Confetti falls to the ground
C9
May these memories break our fall
G C9
Will you take a moment, promise me this
Em7
That you'll stand by me forever
D/F# C9
But if god forbid, fate should step in
G
And force us into a goodbye
C9
If you have children some day
Em7 D/F#
When they point to the pictures
C9
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
D/F#
Tell them how our hope it shined
G C9
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em7 D/F#
I had the time of my life... with you
G C9
Long, long live the walls we crashed through
Em7 D/F#
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G C9
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
Em7
And bring on all the pretenders
D/F#
I'm not afraid
G C9
Singin long live all the mountains we moved
Em7 D/F#
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
G C9
Long, long live the look on your face
Em7
And bring on all the pretenders
C9 G
One day we will be remembered
