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
