Dm Gm
When I was a young boy,
Am Dm Em
My father took me into the city
Dm G
To see a marching band.
He said,
Dm Gm Am Dm Em
"Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken,
Dm G
The beaten and the damned?"
He said
D G F#m Bm G D Em
"Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?"
D G
Because one day I leave you,
F#m Bm G
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
D Em
To join the black parade."

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
C G C D
And other times I feel like I should go.

Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.

And in my heart I cant contain it

The anthem wont explain it.
Am G D Em
And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams
C G C D
Your misery and hate will kill us all
Am G D Em
So paint it black and take it back Lets shout it loud and clear
C G C
Do you fight it to the end We hear the call to

Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory
