D You told me you loved me so why did you go G Away? Em7 Away. Cadd9 D G I do recall now the smell of the rain, Em7 Fresh on the pavement. I ran off the plane. Cadd9 That July 9th, the beat of your heart. D It jumps through your shirt. I can still feel your arms. Cadd9 But now I'll go sit on the floor, G Wearing your clothes. Cadd9 All that I know is I don't know. D How to be something you miss. G Em7 I never thought we'd have a last kiss. Cadd9 Em7 D Never imagined we'd end like this. Cadd9 D Your name forever the name on my lips. G I do remember the swing in your step. Em7 The life of the party, you're showing off again. Cadd9 And I roll my eyes and then you pull me in. D I'm not much for dancin', but for you I did. G Because I love your handshake, meetin' my father. Em7 I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets. Cadd9 How you kissed me when I was in the middle of sayin' something. D There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions. Cadd9 And I'll go sit on the floor, G Wearing your clothes.

D Hope it's nice where you are. Cadd9 And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day G And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed. Cadd9 You can plan for a change in the weather in town, D but I never planned on you changing your mind. Cadd9 So I'll go sit on the floor, G Wearing your clothes. Cadd9 All that I know is I don't know D How to be something you miss. G Em7 I never thought we'd have a last kiss. Cadd9 Em7 D Never imagined we'd end like this.

feeling I passed the pictures around Em D Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines C Wishing for right now G C We are the kings and the queens You traded your baseball cap for a crown Em

rule the world 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 D And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid G C Long live all the mountains we moved Em I had the time of my life D Fighting dragons with you G C I was screaming, "long live the look on your face" Em And bring on all the pretenders C G One day we will be remembered Bridge C Em Hold on to spinning around C Em Confetti falls to the ground C May these memories break our fall Verse 3 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 Chorus G C Long live the walls we crashed through Em D I had the time of my life with you G C Long,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 D And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid G C Long live
