[Verse 1]
It was the worst thing that I'd ever done
It was a head shot, you know, you gave me the gun
Oh please, just hide me now, I won't tell a soul
It was the worst part, what we did to this little girl
Oh please, don't leave me now, baby please, don't go away

[Chorus]
Emily, you're far from home
And Emily, we'll figure
If I could figure it out
We'll both never be afraid, Emily, come home

[Verse 2]
It was the last time I saw her alive
Sometimes you do things you need to do to survive
Oh please, don't leave me now, I'll miss you so much
Oh please, don't go away, I'm needing your touch
But please don't leave me now, baby, please don't go away

[Chorus]
Emily, you're far from home
And Emily, we'll figure
If I could figure it out
We'll both never be afraid, Emily, come home

[Bridge]
Come home, come home, come home

[Chorus]
Now Emily, you're far from home
And Emily, we'll figure
If I could figure it out
We'll both never be afraid, and Emily, come home
Now Emily come home
Now Emily come home
Now Emily come home

[Gerard talking]
"I'd like to hear that, see if the tempo is good, ya know? Yeah, I wanna listen to it."

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
