Intro: Em G Am Em 

verse 1 
Em 
I remember ?round Autumn time 
   G 
I smell the breeze, I feel the sun 
    Am 
Old memories come back to me 
           Em 
The way we used to dance, the way you clapped your hands 
    Em 
And I remember the smell of guns 
     G 
War lived in me, but love finally won 
     Am 
I've been delayed, I've been denied 
    Bm 
And then you came around and took the crown 

           Em 
We were unbreakable 
              G 
We were like rock & roll 
               Am 
We were like a king and queen 
                Em 
I want you to know 
                   Em 
No matter how the story's told, 
              G 
We were like rock & roll 
           Am 
We were unbreakable 
                Em 
I want you to know 


verse 2 
Em 
I remember a time alone 
  G 
Wanted to dance, locked in your arms 
     Am 
Your melody stays haunting on me 
          Em 
You were twenty-one and thought we owned the sun 
    Em 
And I remember our plan to run 
  G 
My rebel ways and your utter nonsense 
     Am 
We?d go insane, but it felt so fun 
    Bm 
And now your queen is home to take your throne 

           Em 
We were unbreakable 
              G 
We were like rock & roll 
               Am 
We were like a king and queen 
                Em 
I want you to know 
                   Em 
No matter how the story's told, 
              G 
We were like rock & roll 
           Am 
We were unbreakable 
                Em 
I want you to know
 

BRIDGE 
                        Em 
Now help me say it?s alright 
                        G 
You help me say it?s alright 
            Am 
Say it?s alright, alright 
            Em 
Say it?s alright 
                         Em 
Now, help me say it?s alright 
      G 
Ooh alright Uh-huh 
            Am 
Say it?s alright, alright 
         Em 
Say it's alright 

GUITAR SOLO

Em    G

            Am                               Em

When Jamaica got way too cold (and your kisses warmed the sand) 
                            Em                       C 
And every time I beat for you (Wanna be your rock & roll) 
                       D                       G

?Cause I remember you (Because I remember you)
