---INTRO 1---

       G       D         (e|-7-5-)
 When I was a young boy
       Em       G    D      C
 My father took me into the city
     G             Am  -  D
 To see a marching band             (snare comes in next line)
           G               D
 He said, "Son, when you grow up
       Em         Bm (e|-0-) C
 Would you be the savior of the broken
      G              Am  -  D
 The beaten and the damned??
           G          D
 He said, "Will you defeat them
         Em      D     (G)   C
 Your demons and all the non-believers
       G                   Am  -  D
 The plans that they have made?
         G              D
 Because one day, I'll leave you
       Em          Bm (G)     C
 A phantom to lead you in the summer
     G                Am  -  D
 To join the Black Parade

---VERSE 1---
      G               D
 Sometimes I get the feeling
        Dm            C
 She's watching over me
                      G                 D
 And other times I feel like I should go
      G                  D
 And through it all, the rise and fall
      Dm              C
 The bodies in the streets
                          G                D
 And when you're gone we want you all to know



---CHORUS 1---
              G   D            Em
 We'll carry on,   we'll carry on
   (G)           C
 And though you're dead and gone, believe me
       D                 G   D             Em
 Your memory will carry on,    will carry on
   (G)   C
 And in my heart, I can't contain it
     D
 The anthem won't explain it


---VERSE 2---
    G                    D
 A world that sends you reeling
       Dm            C
 From decimated dreams
                   G                 D
 Your misery and hate will kill us all
    G                  D
 So paint it black and take it back
       Dm                C
 Let's shout it loud and clear
                G                D
 Defiant to the end, we hear the call:


---CHORUS 2---
          G            D     Em
 To carry on,    we'll carry on
     G                            C
 And though you're dead and gone, believe me
       D
 Your memory will
          G            D     Em
 To carry on,    we'll carry on
   (G)                      C
 And though you're broken and defeated
       D
 Your weary widow marches


---INTERLUDE---
 B                              Em
 On and on we carry through the fears. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)
 B                          Em
 Disappointed faces of your peers. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)
 C
 Take a look at me
          D   (C   Am   Bm) G
 'Cause I could not care at all


            D
 Do or die,   you'll never make me
 Em                 G                    C
  Because the world,  will never take my  (heart).
            G
 Go and try,  you'll never break me
 C                D                   G
  We want it all,  we wanna play this  (part).
                 D                  Em
 I won't explain   or say I'm sorry
               G                   C
 I'm unashamed,  I'm gonna show my   (scar)
               G
 Give a cheer,  for all the broken.
 C            D                      A (key change:A)
  Listen here,  because it's who we are.


                E               F#m
 I'm just a man,  I'm not a hero
            A                      D
 Just a boy  who had to sing this song
            A
 Just a man,  I'm not a hero
 E   E       E
 I   don't   care!
