                              I said, "Remember this

moment”, in the back of my mind,      the time we stood with our
|Em7               |D/F#                 |Cadd9   |Cadd9                      |
 shaking hands, the crowds in stands went wild,      we were the kings and the
|G     |G                      |Cadd9   |Cadd9                          |
 queens,  and they read off our names,     the night you danced like you
|Em7                 |D           |Cadd9   |Cadd9                      |
 knew our lives would never be the same,      you held your head like a

 |Em7   |Em7                |Cadd9   |Cadd9                |
hero,      on a history book page,      it was the end of a
 |Em7   |D                    |Cadd9   |Cadd9   |
decade,    but the start of an age

    |G                        |Cadd9                          |
Long live the walls we crashed through, how the kingdom lights
|Em7                   |D                          |
 shined just for me and you, I was screaming, “Long
|G                    |Cadd9                           |Em7       |Cadd9          |
 live all the magic we made, and bring on all the pretenders”, one day, we will be

remembered,  I said, "Remember this

feeling”,  I passed the pictures around,     of all the years that we
|Em7               |D/F#                  |Cadd9    |Cadd9                     |
 stood there on the sidelines, wishing for right now,  we are the kings and the

 queens, you traded your baseball cap for a crown,     when they gave us our
|Em7             |D               |Cadd9   |Cadd9                |
 trophies, and we held them up for our town,  and the cynics were

|Em7     |Em7                    |Cadd9   |Cadd9                  |
 outraged,  screaming, "This is absurd”,    'cause for a moment, a
|Em7               |D                      |Cadd9   |Cadd9   |
 band of thieves in ripped up jeans, got to rule the world

    |G                        |Cadd9                          |
Long live the walls we crashed through, how the kingdom lights

    |G                        |Cadd9                      |
Long live all the mountains we moved, I had the time of my

 life fighting dragons with you, I was screaming, “Long

 Hold on to spinning around, confetti    falls to the ground
         |Cadd9         |Cadd9   |Cadd9   |Cadd9            |
May these memories break      our fall,      will you take a

moment?  Promise me this,      that you'll stand by me

goodbye,   if you have children some day,       when they point to the

pictures,   please, tell 'em my name,      tell 'em how the
