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."

Sometimes I get the feeling
Dm C
She’s watching over me

The bodies in the streets
G D
And when you’re gone we want you all to know

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

And in my heart, I can’t contain it,

The anthem won’t explain it.

A world that sends you reeling.
Dm C
From decimated dreams.

Your misery and hate will kill us all.

So paint it black and take it back!
