---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!
