Em Em

Chorus:
     Em
Some legends are told
              G
Some turn to dust or to gold
                C
But you will remember me
   Am            D
Remember me for centuries
   Em
If just one mistake
   G
Is all it will take
                  C
We’ll go down in history
   Am            D
Remember me for centuries
Em  G   C    Am            D
          Remember me for centuries

Em
Mummified my teenage dreams
 G
No it's nothing wrong with me
     C
The kids are all wrong, the story's all off
Am                  D
Heavy metal broke my  (heart)
Em
Come on come on and let me in
  G
Bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
  C
This is supposed to match,
The darkness that you felt
   Am                     D
I never meant for you to fix yourself

Em Em

Chorus:
     Em
Some legends are told
              G
Some turn to dust or to gold
                C
But you will remember me
   Am            D
Remember me for centuries
   Em
If just one mistake
   G
Is all it will take
                  C
We’ll go down in history
   Am            D
Remember me for centuries
Em  G   C    Am            D
          Remember me for centuries

              Em
And I can't stop 'til
The whole world knows my name
      G
Cause I was only born inside my dreams
   C
Until you die for me,
As long as there's a light,
     Am
My shadow's over you
      D        Em                G
Cause I am the opposite of amnesia
     C
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
     Am                         D
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon

Em Em

Chorus:
     Em
Some legends are told
              G
Some turn to dust or to gold
                C
But you will remember me
   Am            D
Remember me for centuries
   Em
If just one mistake
   G
Is all it will take
                  C
We’ll go down in history
   Am            D
Remember me for centuries
Em  G   C    Am            D
          Remember me for centuries

Em                 G
We've been here forever
     C                 Am  D
And here's the frozen proof
Em                G
I could scream forever
   C                Am  D
We are the poisoned youth

Em Em Em Em

Chorus:
     Em
Some legends are told
              G
Some turn to dust or to gold
                C
But you will remember me
   Am            D
Remember me for centuries
   Em
If just one mistake
   G
Is all it will take
                  C
We’ll go down in history
   Am            D
Remember me for centuries
Em  G   C    Am            D
          Remember me for centuries
