[Verse 1: Clean]
C G Am
The drought was the very worst
F
Oh-oh, oh-oh
C G Am F C
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
G Am
It was months and months of back and forth
F
Oh-oh, oh-oh
C G Am F
[Pre-Chorus: Clean]
G F
Hung my head as I lost the war
G F
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm
[Chorus: Clean]
C G Am
Rain came pouring down
F C
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
G
And by morning
Am F C
Gone was any trace of you, I think I Am finally clean
G Am
I think I Am finally clean
[Verse 1: Long Live]
C F
I said remember this moment, in the back of my mind
Am
The time we stood with our shaking hands
G F
The crowds in the 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
C
You held your head like a hero
F
On a history book page
Am G
It was the end of a decade
F
But the start of an age
[Chorus: Long Live]
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 G
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
C F
I was screaming long live that look on your face
Am
And bring on all the pretenders
F C
One day, we will be remembered
[Bridge: Long Live]
C F G
Hold on to spinning around
C F G
Confetti falls to the ground
C
May these memories break our fall
[Transition: New Year's Day]
C
And hold on...
F G
To spinning around...
C
Confetti...
F G
Falls to the ground...
[Verse 1: New Year's Day]
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: New Year's Day]
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: New Year's Day]
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: New Year's Day]
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: New Year's Day]
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: New Year's Day]
C Am F G
C Am F G
C Am F G
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: New Year's Day]
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: New Year's Day]

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

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
[Transition: Long Live]
C
And Long live
(Please don't ever become a stranger)
F
The walls we crashed through
(Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere)
Am
I had the time of my life
(Please don't ever become a stranger)
G
With you
(Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere)
[Outro: Long Live]
C
And Long live
F
The walls we crashed through
Am
I had the time of my life
G
With you
