When I was a young boy
Em D G C
My father took me into the city
Bm Em Am - D
To see a marching band

He said, "Son, when you grow up
Em D G C
Would you be the savior of the broken
Bm Em 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
Bm Em Am - D
The plans that they have made?
G D
Because one day, I'll leave you
Em D G C
A phantom to lead you in the summer
Bm Em Am - D
To join the Black Parade

G D
Sometimes I get the feeling
Em C
She's watching over me
C G D
And other times I feel like I should go
G D
And through it all, the rise and fall
Em C
The bodies in the streets
C G D
And when you're gone we want you all to know
**
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, we'll carry on
G C
And in my heart, I can't contain it
D
The anthem won't explain it
**
G D
A world that sends you reeling
Em C
From decimated dreams
C G D
Your misery and hate will kill us all
G D
So paint it black and take it back
Em C
Let's shout it loud and clear
C G D
Defiant to the end, we hear the call
**
G D Em
to carry on, we'll carry on
G C
And though you're dead and gone, believe me

Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on

And though you're broken and defeated

Your weary widow marches

B Em
On and on we carry through the fears. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)
B Em
Disappointed faces of your peers. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)

Take a look at me
G
'Cause I could not care at all

Do or die, you'll never make me
Em G C
Because the world, will never take my heart.

Go and try, you'll never break me
C D G
We want it all, we wanna play this part.

I won't explain or say I'm sorry

Give a cheer, for all the broken.
