(Verse 1)
I said remember this [G] moment
In the back of my mind [C]
The time we stood with our [Em] shaking hands
The [D] crowds in stands [C] went wild
We were the kings and the [G] queens
And they read off our [C] names
The night you danced like you [Em] knew
Our lives would never [D] be the same [C]
You held your head like a [Em] hero
On a history book page [C]
It was the end of a decade [Em]
But the start of an age [C]
(Chorus)
Long [G] live the walls we crashed [C] through
How the kingdom lights [Em] shined just for me and [D] you
I was screaming long [G] live all the magic we [C] made
And bring on all the [Em] pretenders
One [C] day, we will be [G] remembered
(Verse 2)
I said remember this [G] feeling
I pass the pictures [C] around
Of all the years that we [Em] stood there
On the [D] side-lines wishing for [C] right now
We are the kings and the [G] queens
You traded your baseball cap for a [C] crown
When they gave us our [Em] trophies
And we [D] held them up for our [C] town
And the cynics were [Em] outraged
Screaming, [C] "This is absurd!"
'Cause for a moment a [Em] band of thieves
In ripped-up jeans got to [C] rule the world
(Chorus) (transition into The Great War)
All that[C] bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh, [G]the bombs were close and
My hand[Em] was the one you reached for[D]
All throughout the Great War[C]
Always remember
Uh-huh,[G] the burning embers
I [Em]vowed not to fight anymore[D]
If we survived the Great War[C]
Uh-huh[G]
Uh-huh[Em] [D]
If we survived the Great War[C]
Uh-huh[G]
Uh-huh[Em] [D]
(Bridge) (Back to Long Live)
[C] Hold on to [Em] spinning around
Confetti [C] [Em] falls to the ground
May these [C] memories break our fall
(Verse 3)
Will you take a [G] moment,
Promise me [C] this
That you'll stand by me [Em] forever
But if [D] God forbid fate should step [C] in
And force us into a [G] goodbye
If you have children some [C] day
When they point to the [Em] pictures [D]
Please tell them my [C] name
Tell them how the [C] crowds went wild
Tell them how I [D] hope they shine
(Chorus)
Long [G] live the walls we crashed [C] through
I had the time of my [Em] life, with you [D]
Long, long [G] live the walls we crashed [C] through
How the kingdom lights [Em] shined just for me and [D] you
And I was screaming long [G] live all the magic we [C] made
And bring on all the [Em] pretenders
I'm not [D] afraid
(transition into The Great War)
To that [C]bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh, [G]the worst was over
My hand[Em] was the one you reached for[D]
All throughout the Great War[C]
Always remember
Uh-huh,[G] we're burned for better
I vowed [Em]I would always be yours[D]
'Cause we survived the Great War[C]
Uh-huh[G]
Uh-huh[Em]
I would always be yours[D]
'Cause we survived the Great [C]War
Uh-huh[G]
I [Em]vowed I would always be yours[D]
(Outro Long Live)
Singing, long [G] live all the mountains we [C] moved
I had the time of my [Em] life fighting dragons with [D] you
And long, long [G] live that look on your [C] face
And bring on all the [Em] pretenders
One [C] day, we will be [G] remembered
