[INTRO] G Gmaj7 Em D C G/B Am D
[VERSE]
     G         Gmaj7
When I was a young boy,
    Em          D           C
My father took me into the city,
    G/B             Am D
To see a marching band,
            G            Gmaj7
He said, "Son, when you grow up,
         Em          D          C
Would you be the savior of the broken,
      G/B          Am  D
The beaten and the damned,"


            G             Gmaj7
He said, "Will you defeat them,
        Em       D             C
Your demons and all the non-believers,
      G/B                 Am  D
The plans that they have made,
        G             Gmaj7
Because one day, I'll leave you,
  Em           D              C
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
    G/B           Am   D
To join the Black Parade,"

[INSTRUMENTAL] G Gmaj7 Em D C G/B Am D

[VERSE]
     G         Gmaj7
When I was a young boy,
    Em          D           C
My father took me into the city,
    G/B             Am D
To see a marching band,
            G            Gmaj7
He said, "Son, when you grow up,
         Em          D          C
Would you be the savior of the broken,
      G/B          Am  D  G
The beaten and the damned,"

[INSTRUMENTAL] G Gmaj7 F C D

[VERSE]
G                     Gmaj7
Sometimes I get the feeling,
      F             C
She's watching over me,
C                 G                 D
And other times I feel like I should go,
        G                Gmaj7
When through it all, the rise and fall,
      F             C
The bodies in the streets,
C                        G              D
And when you're gone we want you all to know,

[CHORUS]
D          G     Gmaj7      Em
We'll carry on, we'll carry on,
      D                C
And though you're dead and gone, believe me,
       D               G          Gmaj7  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                     Gmaj7
A world that sends you reeling,
     F            C
From decimated dreams,
     C            G               D
Your misery and hate will kill us all,
    G                   Gmaj7
So paint it black and take it back,
       F                  C
Let's shout out loud and clear,
C             G                D
Defiant to the end we hear the call,


[CHORUS]
D          G     Gmaj7      Em
We'll carry on, we'll carry on,
      D                C
And though you're dead and gone, believe me,
       D               G          Gmaj7  Em
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on,
      D            C
And though you're broken and defeated,
        D           C
Your weary widow marches,

[BRIDGE]
Bm                              Em
On and on we carry through the fears,
B                            Em
Disappointed faces of your peers,
C
Take a look at me,
           Cm              G
'Cause I could not care at all,

G            Gmaj7
Do or die, you'll never make me,
Em                      D              C
Because the world will never take my heart,
            G
Though you try, you'll never break me,
C                  D                 G
We want it all, we wanna play this part,


G                  Gmaj7
Won't explain or say I'm sorry,
Em               D                 C
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar,
               G          C
Give a cheer for all the broken,
         D
Listen here, because it's who we are,


A                Amaj7
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero,
F#m         E                     D
Just a boy who wants to sing his song,
 D             A
Just a man, I'm not a hero,
E
I don't care,


           A             Amaj7 F#m
We'll carry on, we'll carry on,
      E           D
And though you're dead and gone, believe me,
        E              A              Amaj7 F#m
Your memory will carry on, you'll carry on,
      E             D
And though you're broken and defeated,
      E
Your weary widow marches on,

[OUTRO]
A           Amaj7
Do or die, you'll never make me,
F#m                 E                 D
Because the world will never take my heart,
D
Though you try, you'll never break me,
E                                   A
We want it all, we wanna play this part,

Because the world will never take my heart,

Though you try, you'll never break me,
E                                   A
We want it all, we wanna play this part,
A
(We'll carry on)
