[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 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

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero

I'm just a boy, who's meant to sing this song
