                     G                        C
I say remember this moment In the back of my mind
                            Em
The time we stood with our shaking hands
      D                    C
The crowds in stands went wild
                           G
We were the kings and the queens
                       C
And they read off our names
                               Em
The night you danced like you knew our lives
       D            C
Would never be the same
                           Em
You held your head like a hero
                   C
On a history book page
                     Em
It was the end of a decade
D                   C
But the start of an age

Chorus:
      G                           C
Long live the walls we crashed through
                        Em                     D
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
                        G                     C
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
                         Em
And bring on all the pretenders
     C                G
One day we will be remembered

I said, remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
On the side-lines wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, "This is absurd"
'Cause for a moment, a band of thieves
In ripped up jeans got to rule the world

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

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

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