[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro]
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Well, let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now, the red ones make me fly and the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling

[Pre-Chorus]
And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust, just think happy thoughts

[Chorus]
And we'll fly home, we'll fly home
You and I, we'll fly home
Come on!

[Verse 2]
Well now, I'm back in the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now, the red ones make me fly and the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling now

[Chorus]
We'll fly home
You and I, we'll fly home

[Bridge]
Now honestly, that's what I said to her
What I said to her, ahh!

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts
Think ha... Whoo!

My Chemical Romance is an alt/punk/hardcore rock band that produced four studio albums and a compilation album over their initial twelve-year lifespan from 2001-2013. They then went on a six-year hiatus, until Halloween of 2019, when they announced a long-awaited revival of the band. They have touched the hearts of millions through their honest, raw lyrics and inspirational stories.

The band started after front-man and founder Gerard Way witnessed the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City. He felt compelled to empower people and make a difference in the world. As a result, he wrote the band’s first song, “Skylines And Turnstiles.” He shared the lyrics with his friend Matt Pelissier, who agreed to be the then-unnamed band’s drummer. Gerard then recruited Ray Toro, whom he used to be in a band with as the lead guitarist, and eventually invited his brother Mikey Way to be the bassist, and Frank Iero to be the rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, was released in 2002 and was recorded in Matt Pelissier’s attic. Because of this, some of the songs are lovingly referred to as the “attic demos.” The album’s copyright warning
