[Fm] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Db]
[Fm]
[Bb] I remember, run out of [Ab] time I [Db] smell the breeze, I feel the sun
All [Bbm] memories, come back to me The way [F] we used to dance, [C] the way you clapped
your hands [Fm]
I remember, the smell of guns
[Ab] War lived in me, but love [Db] found you [Bbm] one
I remember, I felt the night And then you [Fm] came around and [Bb] took the [Cm] crown
We [Bbm] were on [Fm] the ground [Ab] We were like a king [Bbm]
and queen
I want you [Fm] to know No matter how the story's told
[Ab] We were like a rock and roll We were [Bbm] like a king and queen
I want you to [Fm] know
I remember, our time alone
[Ab]
Locked in your [Bbm] arms, your melody [Ab] stays haunting [Fm] me
We were 21, and thought we owned the sun
And I remember, our plan to run
[Ab] My rebel eyes, [Db] said we'd go insane
But [Ab] it felt so [Fm] fun
We were on the ground We were [Ab] like a [Bbm] king and queen
I want [Fm] you to know [Ab] No matter how the story's told
We were like a rock and roll We [Bbm] were like a king and queen
I want you to [F]
know
[Fm] Now help me say it's alright
You help me say it's [Ab] alright
Say [Eb] it's alright
Say [Fm] it's alright
Now help me say it's alright
[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm] Say it's alright
Say [Fm] it's alright
You're the guy that can sing it louder
Help me sing [Ab] it louder
[Bbm]
[Fm]

[Ab] [Bb] [Bbm]
Say [F]
it's [G] [Ab] alright
You're my rock and roll
[Bbm]
Unshakeable, [Ab] [Bbm] [Fm] unbreakable
We [Eb] were
[Ab]
just like rock and [Db] roll
[Ab] [Cm] Back to [Ab] Tokyo
[C] [Db] And [Cm] if this is [Fm] for the same
[Cm] [Fm] The [Gm] [Fm]
[Eb] [Bb] [Ebm] [Ab]
[Bbm]
[Cm] [Ab] time [Bbm] is right
[Ab] [Bbm] We're [Ab] locked in our arms
[Eb] [Ab] [Bbm] [Eb]
[Fm] [N]
