            [Verse 1]
G            D/F#
When I was a young boy, 
Em             D
My father took me into the 
C      G/B              Am     D 
city to see a marching band. 
            G             D/F#
He said, "Son when you grow up, 
      Em          D             C          G/B              Am        D
would you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?" 
        G         D/F# 
He said "Will you defeat them, 
    Em            D          C               G/B                 Am      D
your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?" 
        G            D/F#
Because one day I'll leave you, 
   Em        D             
A phantom to lead you in the
C          G/B             Am      D
summer, to join the black parade." 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G            D/F#
When I was a young boy, 
Em             D
My father took me into the 
C      G/B              Am     D 
city to see a marching band. 
            G             D/F#
He said, "Son when you grow up, 
      Em          D             C          G/B              Am        D
would you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"

[Verse 3]
G                   D/F#            Em            C
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me. 
       C          G                   D  
And other times I feel like I should go. 
G                        D/F#               Em            C
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets. 
C                       G               D
And when you're gone we want you all to know. 
[Chorus]
             G
We'll carry on, 
     D/F#   Em
We'll carry on
       D          C           G 
And though you're dead and gone believe me 
      D
Your memory will
      G  D/F#
carry on 
            Em  D
We'll carry on 
          C             
And in my heart I can't contain it 
         D
The anthem won't explain it. 
[Verse 4]
G                D/F#           Em         C
A woman sends you reeling from decimated dreams 
                 G                 D
Your misery and hate will kill us all. 
G                     D/F#
So paint it black and take it back 
Em                     C
Lets shout it loud and clear 
C               G
Defiant to the end 
              D
We hear the call 
[Chorus]
             G
We'll carry on, 
     D/F#   Em
We'll carry on
       D          C           G 
And though you're dead and gone believe me 
      D
Your memory will
      G  D/F#
carry on
            Em  D
We'll carry on
                  C           
And though you're broken and defeated 
       D              C
Your weary widow marches 
[Bridge]
B                               Em
On and on we carry through the fears 
Ooh oh ohhhh 
B                          Em
Disappointed faces of your peers 
Ooh oh ohhhh 
C                         Cm
Take a look at me cause I could not care at all 
G
Do or die 
D/F#
You'll never make me 
Em                 D
Because the world, will never take my heart 
C           G
You can try, you'll never break me 
C                D                    G
You want it all, you wanna play this part 
G                 
I won't explain or
D/F#
Say I'm sorry
Em             D 
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars 
C             G             
Give a cheer, for all the broken 
C            D 
Listen here, because it's who we are 
A                E/G#
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero 
F#m              E
I'm just a boy, who's meant to sing this song 
D                A
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero 
E    E        E
I -- don't -- care 
[Chorus]
       A          E/G#
We'll carry on 
       F#m        E
We'll carry on 
        D                  
And though you're dead and gone believe me 
E
Your memory will
      A        E/G#
Carry on 
             F#m          
You'll carry on 
      E           D                            
And though you're broken and defeated 
       E
Your weary widow marches on

F#m                 E
Because the world, will never take my heart 
D             
You can try, you'll never break me
