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

[Strophe]
     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
[Refrain]
            G         D/F#  Em 
We'll carry on, we'll carry on 
    D             C 
And though you're dead and gone, believe me 
    D                  G        D/F#   Em 
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on 
    D       C 
And in my heart, I can't contain it 
    D 
The anthem won't explain it
[Strophe]
  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
[Refrain]
         G         D/F#  Em 
to carry on, we'll carry on 
    D            C 
And though you're dead and gone, believe me 
    D                  G         D/F#  Em 
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on 
    D             C 
And though you're broken and defeated 
    D 
Your weary widow marches
[Pont]

On and on we carry through the fears. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)

Disappointed faces of your peers. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)

Take a look at me 
         Eb5   Bb/D C5   Bb5 G 
'Cause I could not  care at  all

Do or die, you'll never make me 
Em                Bm                    C 
 Because the world, will never take my heart. 
          Bm 
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 
             Bm                   C 
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars 
             Bm 
Give a cheer, for all the broken.

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