G Cadd9 Em7 D/F# Cadd9

Verse 1:
G Cadd9
I said, remember this moment, in the back of my mind
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
The time we stood with our shaking hands, the crowds in stands went wild
G Cadd9
We were the kings and the queens, and they read off our names
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
The night you danced like you knew our lives, would never be the same
G Cadd9
You held your head like a hero, on a history book page
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
It was the end of a decade, but the start of an age

Chorus:
G Cadd9
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em7 D/F#
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G Cadd9
I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made
Em7
And bring on all the pretenders
Cadd9
One day, we will be remembered"
Verse 2:
G Cadd9
I said, "Remember this feeling", I passed the pictures around
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Of all the years that we stood there, on the side-lines, wishing for right now
G Cadd9
We are the kings and the queens, you traded your baseball cap for a crown
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
When they gave us our trophies, and we held them up for our town
G Cadd9
And the cynics were outraged, screaming, "This is absurd"
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
'Cause for a moment, a band of thieves, in ripped up jeans got to rule the world

Chorus:
G Cadd9
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em7 D/F#
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G Cadd9
I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made
Em7 D/F#
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid"
G Cadd9
Long live all the mountains we moved
Em7 D/F#
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
G Cadd9
I was screaming, "Long live that look on your face
Em7
And bring on all the pretenders
Cadd9 G
One day, we will be remembered"

Bridge:
Cadd9 Em7
Hold on to spinning around
Cadd9 Em7
Confetti falls to the ground
Cadd9
May these memories break our fall
Verse 3:
G Cadd9
Will you take a moment? Promise me this
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
That you'll stand by me forever, but if, God forbid, fate should step in
G Cadd9
And force us into a goodbye, if you have children someday
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
When they point to the pictures, please tell them my name
Cadd9 D/F# Cadd9 D/F#
Tell them how the crowds went wild, tell them how I hope they shine
G Cadd9 Em7 D/F#
Long live the walls we crashed through, I had the time of my life, with you

Chorus:
G Cadd9
Long, long live the walls we crashed through
Em7 D/F#
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G Cadd9
I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made
Em7 D/F#
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid"
G Cadd9
Singing, long live all the mountains we moved
Em7 D/F#
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
G Cadd9
And long, long live that look on your face
Em7 Cadd9
And bring on all the pretenders, one day, we will be remembered
