LONG LIVEIntro:G,C,Em,D,C
G CI say remember this moment In the back of my mind
EmThe time we stood with our shaking hands
D CThe crowds in stands went wild
GWe were the kings and the queens
CAnd they read off our names
EmThe night you danced like you knew our lives
D CWould never be the same
Em CYou held your head like a hero On a history book page
Em D CIt was the end of a decade But the start of an age
Chorus
G CLong live the walls we crashed throughEm D
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and youG C
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"Em
And bring on all the pretendersC G
One day we will be remembered
Verse 2G C
I said remember this feeling I passed the pictures aroundEm DOf all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
CWishing for right now
G CWe are the kings and the queens You traded your baseball cap for a crown
Em D CWhen they gave us our trophies And we held them up for our town
Em CAnd the cynics were outraged Screaming, "this is absurd"
Em'Cause for a moment a band of thieves in
D Cripped up jeans got to rule the world
ChorusG C
Long live the walls we crashed throughEm D
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and youG C
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"

DFighting dragons with you
G CI was screaming, "long live the look on your face"
EmAnd bring on all the pretenders
C GOne day we will be remembered
BridgeC EmHold on to spinning around
C EmConfetti falls to the ground
CMay these memories break our fall
Verse 3
GAnd you take a moment
CPromise me this:
EmThat you'll stand by me forever
D CBut if God forbid fate should step in
GAnd force us into a goodbye
CIf you have children someday
Em DWhen they point to the picturesC
Please tell them my nameC
Tell them how the crowds went wildD
Tell them how I hope they shine
ChorusG C
Long live the walls we crashed throughEm D
I had the time of my life with youG C
Long,long live the walls we crashed throughEm D
