play it your own way and search for your perfect height!
[verse]
G D
When I was a young boy
Em G C
My father took me into the city
G Am D
To see a marching band
G D
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Em G 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 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 G C
A phantom to lead you in the summer
G Am D
To join the Black Parade
[chorus]
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
[verse]
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]
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
[verse]
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]
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
[ending]
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.
D
I won't explain, or say I'm sorry
Em G C
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
G
Give a cheer, for all the broken
C G C
Listen here, because it's who we are
D
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
Em G C
Just a boy, whose meant to sing this song
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.
