     G        D
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

[verse]
     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
And when you're gone
   G                D
we want you all to know

[chorus]
            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

[verse]
  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

[chorus]
         G         D/F#  Em
to carry on, we'll carry on
    D            C
And though you're dead and gone,
believe me
    D                  G
Your memory will carry on,
      D/F#  Em
we'll carry on
    D             C
And though you're broken and defeated
    D
Your weary widow marches

On and on we carry
            Em
through the fears. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)
B7
Disappointed faces
        Em
of your peers. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)
C
Take a look at me
         Eb5   Bb/D C5   Bb5 G
'Cause I could not  care at  all
          D
Do or die, you'll never make me
Em                Bm
 Because the world,
                    C
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.
C           D                      A
Listen here, because it's who we are.
              E/G#            F#m
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!

[chorus]
             A       E        F#m
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
    E             D
And though you're dead and gone,
believe me
     E                  A
Your memory will carry on,
    E        F#m
we'll carry on
    E             D
And though you're broken and defeated
     E                   A
Your weary widow marches on
