Teenagers

E E
They’re gonna clean up your looks
E E
With all the lies and the books
E B
To make a citizen out of you
A A
Because they sleep with a gun
E
And keep an eye on you son
B E
So they can watch all the things you do


E E
Because the drugs never work
E E
They gonna give you a smirk
E B
Cause they got methods
E
Of keeping you clean
A
They’re gonna rip out your heads
E
Your aspirations to shreads
B E
Another caught in the murder machine


E E
They say all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
E B
They could care less as long as someone will bleed
A
So darken your clothes
E
Or strike a violent pose
B
Maybe they’ll leave you alone
E
But not me


E E
The boys and girls in the clique
E E
The awful names that they stick
E B
You’re never gonna fit in much kid
A
But if you’re troubled and hurt
E
What you got under your shirt
B E
We’ll make them pay for the things that they did


E E
They say all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
E B
They could care less as long as someone will bleed
A
So darken your clothes
E
Or strike a violent pose
B
Maybe they’ll leave you alone
E
But not me


* oh yeah *

I'm Not Okay

D
Well if you wanted honesty, that’s all you had to say.
Bm
I never want to let you down or have you go, it’s better off this way.
Em
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
A
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?

D
I’m not okay.
Bm
I’m not okay.
Em
I’m not okay.
A
You wear me out.

What will it take to show you that it’s not the life it seems?
(I’m not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don’t know what they mean
(I’m not okay)
So be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!

I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
You wear me out.

Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took?
You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed

I’m okay.
I’m okay!
I’m okay, now
(I’m okay, now)

But you really need to listen to me
Because I’m telling you the truth
I mean this, I’m okay!
(Trust Me)

I’m not okay
I’m not okay
Well, I’m not okay
I’m not o-fucking-kay
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
(Okay)

Welcome to The Black Parade

G D
When I was a young boy,
Em D
My father took me into the
Am C D
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."
