When I was a young boy
    Em         G            C

To see a marching band

He said, "Son, when you grow up
        Em         G               C 
Would you be the savior of the broken

The beaten and the damned??
           G          D

Your demons and all the non-believers
      G                   Am  -  D
The plans that they have made?

Because one day, I'll leave you
    Em          G               C

*Verse 1*
     G               D
Sometimes I get the feeling
       Dm            C
She's watching over me
                     G                 D
And other times I feel like I should go
     G                      D
And through it all, the rise and fall
     Dm              C
The bodies in the streets
                         G                D
And when you're gone we want you all to know

*Chorus*
             G         D        Em
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
   G               C             
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
      D                  G        D       Em
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
   G       C        
And in my heart, I can't contain it
    D
The anthem won't explain it

*Verse 2*
   G                    D
A world that sends you reeling
      Dm            C
From decimated dreams
                  G                 D
Your misery and hate will kill us all
    G                     D
So paint it black and take it back
         Dm                C
Let's shout it loud and clear
                 G                D
Defiant to the end, we hear the call

*Chorus*
          G         D      Em
to carry on, we'll carry on
      G            C
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
      D                 G       D        Em
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
   G               C         
And though you're broken and defeated
      D               
Your weary widow marches

*Bridge*
B                                  Em
On and on we carry through the fears. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)
B                             Em 
Disappointed faces of your peers. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)
 C          
Take a look at me
                           G
'Cause I could not care at all
          D
Do or die, you'll never make me
Em                G                     C 
 Because the world, will never take my heart.
          G  
Go and try, you'll never break me
C              D                     G
 We want it all, we wanna play this part.
               D                Em
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
             G                    C
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
             G
Give a cheer, for all the broken.

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
          A                      D
Just a boy who had to sing this song
          A
Just a man, I'm not a hero
E 
I   don't   care!
