Black Parade
My Chemical Romance

G            D
When I was a young boy,
Em             D
My father took me into the
Am      C              D       D sus
city to see a marching band.

G             D
He said, "Son when you grow up,
Em          D             Am          C              D
would you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
G         D
He said "Will you defeat them,
Em            D          Am               C                  D
your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have
made?"
G            D
Because one day I'll leave you,
Em        D             
A phantom to lead you in the
Am          C             D
summer, to join the black parade."

VERSE 2:
G                   D             Em            D
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
Am                C                  D   Dsus
And other times I feel like I should go.
G                      D                   Em            D
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
Am                      C               D
And when you're gone we want you all to know.

G            D
We'll carry on,
Em          D

Am            C
And in my heart I can't contain it
D
The anthem won't explain it.

G                D             Em         D
A woman sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Am         C               D
Your misery and hate will kill us all.
G                     D
So paint it black and take it back
Em                     D
Lets shout it loud and clear
Am             C
Defiant to the end

Em                             Am
On and on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh oh
Em                         Am
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh oh

Take a look at me cause I could not care at all
