Guitar chord Summertime

The song discusses farewells, facing uncertainty, and the promise of staying together no matter what. It was inspired by personal experiences of the band members, especially lead vocalist Gerard Way.

When the lights go out
Will you take me with you?
A
                          
Em
 
And carry all this broken bone

Through six years down in crowded rooms

Em
 
Till you picked me off the ground

With brick in hand, your lip gloss smile

  Terrified of what I'd be
                         
Em
 
As a kid from what I've seen
                       
G
 
Every single day when people try
                    
D
 
And put the pieces back together
                    
A
 
Just to smash them down
                            
Em
 
Turn my headphones up real loud

I don't think I need them now

Cause you stop the noise
