When I was a young boy,
Em D
My father took me into the
C Em Am D
city to see a marching band.
G D
He said, "Son when you grow up,
Em D C Em Am D
would you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
G D
He said "Will you defeat them,
Em D C Em Am D
your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?"
G D
Because one day I'll leave you,
Em D
A phantom to lead you in the
C Em Am D
summer, to join the black parade."
[Instrumental]

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.

And other times I feel like I should go.
