MINE 
Cadd9 G Dsus4 Em7 x3 Cadd9 G Dsus4

Cadd9        G		     Dsus4     Em7
 You were in college working part time waiting tables
Cadd9   G	    Dsus4
 Left a small town, never looked back
Cadd9    G          Dsus4   Em7
 I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Cadd9            G	     Dsus4
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

C G D                    C G
  I say can you believe it?
D                       C  G
 As we're lying on the couch
    D
The moment I could see it
C    G	 D
Yes, yes, I can see it now

C	 		 G
 Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
D	  		  Em	    D
 You put your arm around me for the first time
C		       G
 You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D		       Em	    D        C
 You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Cadd9  G		 Dsus4         Em7
 Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
Cadd9          G         Dsus4
 And there's a drawer of my things at your place
Cadd9      G		      Dsus4      Em7
 You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
Cadd9    G                   Dsus4
 You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

C G D
     But we got bills to pay
C G D
     We got nothing figured out
C G D
     When it was hard to take
C    G    D
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about

C	 		 G
 Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
D	  		  Em	    D
 You put your arm around me for the first time
C		       G
 You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D		       Em	    D
 You are the best thing that's ever been mine
C			 G
 Do you remember all the city lights on the water
D                      Em	     D
 You saw me start to believe for the first time
C		       G
 You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D		       Em	    D
 You are the best thing that's ever been mine

C G D Em C G D

        Em                     C
And I remember that fight, two thirty AM
    D
You said everything was slipping out of our hands
Em                      C                         D
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
C G         D
   Braced myself for the goodbye
C G              D
   'Cause that's all I've ever known
C G    D
   And you took me by suprise
C G         D                     C
   You said I'll never leave you alone

You said
C	           G
 I remember how we felt sitting by the water
D                          Em               D
 And every time I look at you it's like the first time
C		       G
 I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter
D
 She is the best thing that’s ever been mine

C		G
Hold on, we can make it last
D        Em         D
Hold on, never turn back
C		       G
 You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D
 You are the best thing that's ever been mine
C     G	 D
(Hold on) Do you believe it?
C     G	 D
(Hold on) We’re gonna make it now
C     G	D               
(Hold on) And I can see it
C     G	  D
Yeah, yeah (I can see it now, see it now, see it now)


SPARKS FLY 
Capo 5 
Am F C G x2

Am                          F
 The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
C                    G
 And I'm a house of cards
           Am                            F
 You're the kind of reckless that should send me running
      C                  G
 But I kinda know that I won't get far

F                        G
 And you stood there in front of me just
C       G        Am
 Close enough to touch
F                                  G
 Close enough to hope you couldn't see what I was thinking of


                Am
Drop everything now
               F
Meet me in the pouring rain
C
Kiss me on the sidewalk
G
Take away the pain
       Am     F              C          G
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
                  Am
Get me with those green eyes, baby
       F
As the lights go down
        C                          G
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
       Am     F              C       G  Am F C G
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile


Am           F
 My mind forgets to remind me
C              G
 You're a bad idea
Am                         F
 You touch me once and it's really something
     C                            G     
 You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be


F                        G
 I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
           C    G            Am
 But with you I know it's no good
F
 And I could wait patiently but
G
 I really wish you would


                Am
Drop everything now
               F
Meet me in the pouring rain
C
Kiss me on the sidewalk
G
Take away the pain
       Am     F              C          G
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
                  Am
Get me with those green eyes, baby
       F
As the lights go down
        C                          G
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
       Am     F              C       G  Am F C G
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile


  Am             F
I run my fingers through your hair
    C                   G
And watch the lights go wild
     Am                    F
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me
          C                             G
It's just wrong enough to make it feel right
    Am               F
And lead me up the staircase
          C                 G
Won't you whisper soft and slow
    Am         F                  C             G
I'm captivated by you baby like a fireworks show

 
               Am
Drop everything now
               F
Meet me in the pouring rain
C
Kiss me on the sidewalk
G
Take away the pain
       Am     F              C             G
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
                  Am
Get me with those green eyes, baby
       F
As the lights go down
        C                          G
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
       Am     F              C       G  Am F
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
          C      G       Am    F          C       G Am
And the sparks fly, baby smile, and the sparks fly


BACK TO DECEMBER 
D   Bm G (2x)

D
I'm so glad you made the time to see me
Bm
How's life, tell me how's your family
G                        D   A
I haven't seen them in a while
D
You've been good, busier than ever
Bm
We small talk, work and the weather
G                              D  A
You're guard is up, and I know why

Bm                    A
Because the last time you saw me
           D                          G
It's still burned in the back of your mind 
            Bm          A                  G    
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

   D
So this is me swallowing my pride 
            F#m
Standing in front of you saying 
                    G
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go 
D                A              
Back to December all the time
   D
It turns out freedom ain't
(D)
Nothing but missing you
F#m      
Wishing I'd realized what I had 
     G
When you were mine 
       D
I'd go back to December, 
A                           G 
Turn around and make it all right
     Bm *once         A*           
I go back to December all the time


D   Bm G (2x)

D                         
These days I haven't been sleeping
Bm
Stayin' up playing back myself leaving
G                                      D  A 
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
       D            
Then I think about summer all the beautiful times 
Bm
I watch you laughing from the passenger side
G                               D  A
And realized I loved you in the fall

Bm                     A
And then the cold came the dark days
     D                  G
When fear crept into my mind
            Bm                   
You gave me all your love and
      A           G
All I gave you was goodbye


   D
So this is me swallowing my pride 
            F#m
Standing in front of you saying 
                    G
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go 
D                A             
Back to December all the time
   D
It turns out freedom ain't
(D)
Nothing but missing you
F#m      
Wishing I'd realized what I had 
     G
When you were mine 
       D
I'd go back to December, 
A                         G 
Turn around and change my own mind
     Bm               A            
I go back to December all the time


D  Bm G (2x)
 
            Bm            G 
I miss your tan skin your sweet smile
   D              A
So good to me, so right
            Bm              G
And how you held me in your arms
               D
That September night
                   A           Bm -stop  
The first time you ever saw me cry
                              G -stop
Maybe this is wishful thinking
                          D
Probably mindless dreaming
(D)                                     A *once
If you loved again I swear I'd love you right

       Bm *once         A*              G*
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
          Bm*              A*          G*
So if the chain is on your door I understand

    D
But this is me swallowing my pride 
            F#m                             
Standing in front of you saying 
                    G
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go 
D              A
Back to December...
   D  
It turns out freedom ain't
(D)            
Nothing but missing you
F#m                              
Wishing I'd realized what I had 
     G  
When you were mine 
       D  
I'd go back to December 
A                           G                           
Turn around and make it all right
       D         
I'd go back to December
A                         G
Turn around and change my own mind
     Bm *once         A*        
I go back to December all the time

D  Bm G         D  Bm G *once
        All the time


SPEAK NOW 
G G 

G                    D
I am not the kind of girl 
              Am
Who should be rudely barging in
     C
On a white veil occasion 
    G                       D
But you are not the kind of boy 
              Am                    C -stop
Who should be marrying the wrong girl

G                       D
I sneak in and see your friends 
        Am            
And her snotty little family 
    C
All dressed in pastel 
    G                   D
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
          Am
Somewhere back inside a room 
          C
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

Am      C      G
Thi--is i---is surely not 
                          D
What you thought it would be
Am   C                  G
I---I  lose myself in a daydream
n.C.
Where I stand and say


G               D                  
Don't say "Yes" run away now
Am                        
I'll meet you when your out 
       C                      G
Of the church at the back door
              D                       
Don't wait or say a single vow 
Am
You need to hear me out
         C -stop              
And they said "Speak Now"


G D Am C 
     

G                   D
Fond gestures are exchanged 
        Am                         
And the organ starts to play a song 
     C
That sounds like a death march
    G                     D
And I am hiding in the curtains
              Am
It seems that I was uninvited 
        C
By your lovely bride-to-be

Am      C      
She---e floats down the aisle 
       G            D   
Like a pageant queen 
    Am   C
But I--I kno--ow 
    G
You wish it was me
    D -stop
You wish it was me- Don't you?



G               D                  
Don't say "Yes" run away now
Am

Don't wait or say a single vow

Your time is running out
         C               G
And they said "Speak Now"

  D    Am    C    G
Ohooho laaaahhoh
D                    Am       C   
Oooh(Say you see me now)ooohooh

I hear the preacher say speak now 
           G*        D*   D
Or forever hold your pe---ace
Am                 
There's a silence, there's my last chance 
C               
I stand up with shaky hands 
    G       D -once
All eyes on me
Am                        C
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
    G                   D -once
But I'm only lookin' at you



G                    D
I am not the kind of girl 
              Am
Who should be rudely barging in
     C
On a white veil occasion 
    G                       D
But you are not the kind of boy

Who should be marrying the wrong girl

 
      G               D                  
Oops! Don't say "Yes" run away now

You need to hear me out
     C               G
They said "Speak Now"
                  D
And you say "Lets run away now"
     Am                
I'll meet you when I'm out
      C                    G
Of my tux at the back door
       D
Baby I didn't say my vows
   Am
So glad you were around
          C                  G -once
When they said "Speak no--ow"


DEAR JOHN 
E Asus2 (2x)


E                                                      Asus2
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
E                                                   Asus2
Counting my footsteps, prayin' the floor won't fall through, again
B                       C#m       B
My mother accused me of losing my mind
      Asus2
But I swore I was fine


E                                                  Asus2
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
      E                                                        Asus2
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day
B                          C#m         B          Asus2
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight.
       B                           C#m        B            Asus2
Well I stopped pickin' up and this song is to let you know why


     E                                  A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
                          C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
    B                           A
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
          E      Asus2
I shoulda known.


     E                                      Asus2
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame.
           E                                                Asus2
Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away.
    B                          C#m          B
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors
    Asus2
Who don't understand.
              B                    C#m               B
And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said
        Asus2
"Run as fast as you can."


     E                                  A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
                          C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
    B                           A
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.


     E                             A
Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong.
                               C#m                        B
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark twisted games 
       A
When I loved you so?
          E     Asus2
I shoulda known.


           C#m
You are an expert at sorry
    B
And keeping lines blurry
    A
And never impressed by me acing your tests
        C#m
All the girls that you run dry
     B
Have tired lifeless eyes
           A
'Cause you burned them out
    B
But I took your matches
  C#m             B
Before fire could catch me
   Asus2
So don't look now
    B
I'm shining like fireworks
A                   E     Asus2    C#m    B    A
Over your sad empty town


     E                                  A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
                          C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
    B                           A
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.

          
E                                A
    I see it all now that you're gone.
                          C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
    B                       Asus2   
The girl in the dress wrote you a song.

            E    
You shoulda known.
            Asus2
You shoulda known.
E                              Asus2
     Don't you think I was too young?
                   E
You shoulda known.

THE STORY OF US
Capo 2
-Intro-
A Bm Dsus2 G
A Bm Dsus2 G


D                   A                          G
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
                                        D
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
             A                           G        
People would say, "They're the lucky ones"
D                 A                        G
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
                                            D
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
                           A                       G
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on


A                  Bm
Oh, a simple complication
          D               Asus4
Miscommunications lead to fall out
G
So many things that I wish you knew
A
So many walls up I can't break through


D                Asus4              Em7
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
              G       D
And we're not speaking
                 Asus4              Em7                               
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
                  G                 
Like it's killing me?
Bm                   A                    D                  
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                  G                                       
When it all broke down
        Bm                  A                  G                                                 
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now-  Next chapter

                           
A  Bm  Dsus2  G


D                    A                       
How'd we end up this way?
                 G              
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
                       D
And trying to look busy
                      A               G
And you're doing your best to avoid me

D                         A                          G
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
                                            D
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
                  A                               G
But you held your pride like you should have held me


A                           Bm
Oh, we're scared to see the ending
           D                  Asus4
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
G
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
A                     -stop
I've never heard silence quite this loud


D                Asus4              Em7
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
              G       D
And we're not speaking
                 Asus4              Em7                               
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
                  G                 
Like it's killing me?
Bm                   A                    D                  
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                  G                                       
When it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

A  Bm  Dsus2  G
A  Bm  Dsus2  G


D -once                           G 
    This is looking like a contest
(G)                              
Of who can act like they care less
D                          A              G
But I liked it better when you were on my side
D                             G
The battle's in your hands now
(G)
But I would lay my armor down
   Bm              A                G
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight


G
So many things that you wish I knew
        A                   -stop     
But the story of us might be ending soon


D (2x *fast/stop)                                         
  Now I'm standing alone 
 Asus4 (2x*)       G -once             G
      In a crowded room  and we're not speaking

D           A              Bm       A
Your little hands wrapped around my finger
         G               A
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
D           A                         
Your little eyelids 
Bm                   A  
Flutter cause you're dreaming
     G                        
So I tuck you in 
             A
Turn on your favorite night light

G                         Bm   
To you, everything's funny
                     G
You got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have honey

If you could stay like that


D     A                 Bm        A             
Oohhh darling don't you ever grow up,

Don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little
    A                 Bm        A             
Ohh darling don't you ever grow up, 
          G
Don't you ever grow up
         A               G
It could stay this simple

                           Bm
I won't let nobody hurt you
                           G
Wont let no one break your heart

           D A Bm A G A
Never grow up


D             A          Bm         A
You're in the car on the way to the movies
           G                    A               
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
D      A                     Bm             A
At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do
              G
And you can't wait to move out
            A
Someday and call your own shots

G                                               Bm
But don't make her drop you off around the block
                                  G
Remember that she's getting older too
(G)                                                           
And don't lose the way that you dance 
 A                                 
Around in your PJs getting ready for school



D  A                 Bm        A             
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, 
          G
Don't you ever grow up
     A               D
Just stay this little
   A                 Bm        A            
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, 
          G
Don't you ever grow up
          A              G
It could stay this simple
                         Bm
And no one's ever burned you
                       G
Nothin's ever left you scarred
                           A
And even though you want to
                       D A Bm A G A
Just try to never grow up
                            


G                     D                      A       G
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood rooOOoom
                 D                      A
Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home
                 G                   D
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
             Asus4                     A
And all your little brother's favorite songs
G               D            Asus4                   A        
I just realized everything I had is someday gonna be gone

D         A        Bm       A
So here I am in my new apartment
     G                    A
In a big city, they just dropped me off
D            A            Bm          A
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
     G                          A            G  D  Asus4 
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on


                     G  D  Asus4
Wish I'd never grown up
           A                         
I wish I'd never grown up

D     A       Bm           A                
Ohhh, I don't want to grow up
         G                   
Wish I'd never grown up
      A
Could still be little
D   A         Bm           A
Ooohh I don't want to grow up 
         G
Wish I'd never grown up

It could still be simple

There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles
C                           G
Same old tired, lonely place
G                     Bm
Walls of insincerity Shifiting eyes and vancancy 
C                           G

Bm                                C                         G
Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me
    G                            Bm
The playful conversation starts Counter all your quick remarks 
      C                     G
like passing notes in secrecy
        C                 Em     D

The lingering question kept me up 2am, who do you love?

I wonder till I'm wide awake
G                              Bm
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
      C                       G
I'd open up and you would say,
        C                 Em     D

This is me praying that this was the very first page
               D           C
Not where the story line ends
                            Em           D       C

I was enchanted to meet you

BETTER THAN REVENGE

Intro: Am  F  C  G x2

Am                                              F
The story starts when it was hot and it was Summer
        C                                     G
And, I had it all; I had him right there where I wanted him
Am                                        F
She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
C*                                         G*
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
Am                                    F
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
C                             G
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
Am                                                 F
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum 
C*                                G*
She underestimated just who she was stealing from 

G (building intensity)

Am                                           F
She's not a saint and she's not what you think 
                C             G
She's an actress, Whoa
Am                                           F 
She's better known for the things that she does 
                C              G
on the mattress, Whoa
Am 
Soon she's gonna find

Stealing other people's toys on the playground 
                                           F
Won't make you many friends 
Am
She should keep in mind,

Am  F  C  G

Am                                          F
She lives her life like it's a party and she's on the list 
C                                            G
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it 
Am                                        F
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling 
           C*                                                 G*
And, she thinks I'm psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things, but 
Am                              F
Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know 
C                                                G
or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go 
Am                                                      F
Oh they didn't teach you that in prep school, so it's up to me 
C*                                            G*
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity 


Am                                           F
She's not a saint and she's not what you think

She's an actress, Whoa

Stealing other people's toys on the playground 
                                           F

Am~                                                   F~
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey

You might have him, but haven't you heard

Cause I don't think you do, Oh

Do you still feel like you know what you're doing

INNOCENT 
Capo 4
Intro: Am C F   Am C F


Am             C                  F     Am
   I guess you really did it this time
         C                F     Am
Left yourself in your war path
          C                 F     Am
Lost your balance on a tightrope
          C                     F    G
Lost your mind trying to get it back

          Am    F                          G
Wasn't it easi--er in your lunchbox days?
         Am     F                  G
Always a bigger bed, to crawl into
          Am    F                                    
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything
G* -once        Am*         F*    
  And everybody believed in you


C                                   
 It's alright, just wait and see your,

Who you are is not what you've been, 
                         Am  C  F
You're still an innocent
                         Am  C  F
You're still an innocent


Am         C                      F    Am
  Did some things you can't speak of
      C                         F     Am
But tonight you'll live it all again
                C                      F     Am
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
                C                  F         G
If only you had seen what you know now then

      
          Am    F                                  G
Wasn't it easi--er in your firefly catching days?

LAST KISS
Capo 3
G(x2) Em7(x2) Cadd9 D

G
I still remember the look on your face,
Em7
Lit through the darkness at 1:58,
Cadd9
The words that you whispered for just us to know.
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.
                     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.

      Cadd9 D
Oo-oo-ooh.

   G                       Em7
So I'll watch your life in pictures
                         Cadd9
Like I used to watch you sleep
                     D
And I'll feel you forget me
                        G
Like I used to feel you breathe
                          Em7
And I'll keep up with our old friends
                         Cadd9
Just to ask them how you are.
                         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.
C                                D
Your name forever the name on my lips.
              G
Just like our last kiss.
                       Em7
Forever the name on my lips.
                       Cadd9 D
Forever the name on my lips.
              G
Just like our last.


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

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
And bring on all the pretenders
     C               G
One day we will be remembered

Verse 2
                      G                             C
I said remember 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              D                    C
When they gave us our trophies And we held them up for our town
                    Em                              C
And the cynics were outraged Screaming, "this is absurd"
                       Em
'Cause for a moment a band of thieves in 
D                        C
ripped up jeans got to 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 all the mountains we moved
                      Em
I had the time of my life
                       D
Fighting dragons with you
      G                     C
long live the look on your face
                       Em

OURS
Capo 5 
Intro
G, Em7, Cadd9

G        Em7               Cadd9
Elevator buttons and morning air
G                  Em7                     Cadd9        
Strangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairs
G                    Em7                Cadd9       
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
          G    D/F#       Cadd9
But right now, my time is theirs

   G               Em7                    Cadd9
Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
        G                  Em7               Cadd9 
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
        G                  Em7                Cadd9
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
           G    D/F#             Cadd9
The jury's out, but my choice is you

Cadd9                   D
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
G                     Em7  
People throw rocks at things that shine
    Cadd9      D         Em7
And life makes love look hard
               Cadd9
The stakes are high
            D
The waters rough
                 G, Em7, Cadd9, G, Em7, Cadd9      
But this love is ours

    G               Em7                  Cadd9
You never know what people have up their sleeves
G                     Em7               Cadd9
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
G              Em7                Cadd9
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
             G    D/F#                   Cadd9
But I don't care, cause right now you're mine

               Cadd9                D
And you'll say don't you worry your pretty little mind
G                     Em7  
People throw rocks at things that shine
    Cadd9      D         Em7
And life makes love look hard
               Cadd9
The stakes are high
            D
The waters rough
                 G, Em7, Cadd9, G, Em7, Cadd9      
But this love is ours

Em7          D/F#           Cadd9
And it's not theirs to speculate
        Em7  D/F# Em7            D/F#               Cadd9        Em7  D/F#
If it's wrong and your hands are tough but they are where mine belong and
Em7              D/F#               Cadd9           Em7  D/F# Cadd9
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you

G                Em7              Cadd9
Cause I love the gap between your teeth
G              Em7              Cadd9
And I love the riddles that you speak
        G                     Em7          Cadd9                   G
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
D/F#              Cadd9
Cause my heart is yours

Cadd9                   D
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
G                     Em7  
People throw rocks at things that shine
    Cadd9      D         Em7
And life makes love look hard

Cadd9                   D
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
G                     Em7  
People throw rocks at things that shine
    Cadd9       D          G   Em7
But they can't take what's ours
Cadd9      D           Em7
They can't take what's ours
               Cadd9
The stakes are high
           D
The waters rough
                 G
But this love is ours

Locked up in your arms and our friends are laughing
