[Intro] C  F  Am  G  F

[Primera Parte]

                    C
I said remember this moment In the back
      F
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
You held your head like a hero On a
                F
History book page
                     Am    G
It was the end of a decade But the
         F
Start of an age

[Estribillo]

      C                           F
Long live the walls we crashed through
                         Am
How the kingdom lights shined just for
      G
Me and you
                       C
I was screaming, "long live all the
       F
Magic we made"
                         Am
And bring on all the pretenders
     F                C
One day we will be remembered

Part II: NEW YEAR’S DAY

( C  F  Am  G  F )

[Segunda Parte]


There's glitter on the floor
           C    Am7  C/G  F2
After the party

Girls carrying their shoes down
        C    Am7  C/G  F2
In the lobby

Candle wax and Polaroids
        C         Am7  C/G  F2
On the hardwood floor

You and me from the night before, but

[Estribillo]

C        Am7  F2      C
  Don’t read     the last page
        Am7  F2
But I stay      when you're lost

And I'm scared

And you’re turning away

C    Am7  F2       C
  I want     your midnights
                         Am7
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you
    F2         C
On New Year's Day

Part III: THE MANUSCRIPT

( F  C  G  F )

[Tercera Parte]

        G
And the years passed
     Am          F
Like scenes of a show
       G
The Professor said to
Am             F
Write what you know
        G
Lookin' backwards
      C
Might be the only
G           F
Way to move forward
         G
Then the actors
     Am            F
Were hitting their marks
        G
And the slow dance
     Am             F
Was alight with the sparks
        G
And the tears fell
   C          G           F
In synchronicity with the score
       G
And at last
         C           G           F
She knew what the agony had been for

[Puente]

F             Am
Hold on to spinning around
    F     Am
Confetti falls to the ground
          F
May these memories break our fall

[Cuarta Parte]

 C      Am7  F7M              G
Please, don't ever become a stranger
       C    Am7      F7M      G
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
  C      Am7  F7M              G
Please, don't ever become a stranger
       Am7  Em7      F7M      G
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

        C  Am7           F7M
Hold on        to the memories
           G             C
They will hold on to you
        Am7           F7M
Hold on     to the memories
           G             C
They will hold on to you
        Am7           F7M
Hold on     to the memories
           G             Am7  Em  F7M
They will hold on to you
            G
And I will hold on to you

[Estribillo]

      C                           F
Long live the walls we crashed through
                         Am
How the kingdom lights shined just for
      G
Me and you
                       C
I was screaming, "long live all the
       F
Magic we made"
                         Am
And bring on all the pretenders
     F                C
One day we will be remembered

[Final]

    C
The only thing that's left
       G
Is the manuscript
         G
One last souvenir from my trip
       F
To your shores
C
Now and then
  G
I reread the manuscript
        G               F
But the story isn't mine
