Long Live/New Year’s Da (Live)

[Intro]
C F Am G F

[Verse 1]
C F
I say remember this moment In the back of my mind
Am
The time we stood with our shaking hands
G F
The crowds in stands went wild
C
We were the kings and the queens
F
And they read off our names
Am
The night you danced like you knew our lives
G F
Would never be the same
Am F
You held your head like a hero On a history book page
Am G F
It was the end of a decade But the start of an age

[Chorus]
C F
Long live the walls we crashed through
Am G
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
C F
I was screaming, “long live all the magic we made”
Am G
And bring on all the pretenders I’m not afraid
C F
Long live all the mountains we moved
Am
I had the time of my life
G
Fighting dragons with you
C F
I was screaming, “long live the look on your face”
Am
And bring on all the pretenders
F C
One day we will be remembered

[Bridge]
F Am
Hold on to spinning around
F Am
Confetti falls to the ground
F
May these memories break our fall
C Am F
And hold on
C Am F
To spinning around
C Am F
Confetti
C Am F
Falls to the ground

[Verse 1]
C Am F C Am F
There’s glitter on the floor after the party
C Am F
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
C Am F
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor

You and me from the night before but

[Chorus 1]
C Am F C
Don’t read the last page
C Am F C
But I stay when you’re lost and I’m scared and you’re turning away
Am F C
I want your midnights
C Am F C
But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day

[Verse 2]
C Am F C Am F
You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
C Am F
I can tell that it’s gonna be a long road
C Am F
I’ll be there if you’re the toast of the town babe

Or if you strike out and you’re crawling home

[Chorus 2]
C Am F C
Don’t read the last page
C Am F C
But I stay when it’s hard or it’s wrong or we’re making mistakes
Am F C
I want your midnights
C Am F C
But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day

[Post-Chorus]
C Am F G
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
C Am F G
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
C Am F G
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Am Em F G
And I will hold on to you

[Bridge]

Please don’t ever become a stranger whose
C Am F G
Laugh I could recognize anywhere
C Am F G
Please don’t ever become a stranger whose
C Am F G
Laugh I could recognize anywhere

[Verse 3]
