---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)

Give a cheer, for all the broken.
