[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Wait until it fades to black, ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you? Well, I’ve got something to say
Grab your six-gun from your back, throttle the ignition
Would I die for you? Well, here's your answer in spades

[Pre-Chorus]
Shotgun sinners, wild-eyed jokers, got you in my sights
Gun it while I’m holding on

[Verse 2]
After all is said and done, climb out from the pine box
Well, I’m asking you, 'cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue, call her black Mariah
Would I lie to you? That girl's not right in the brain

[Pre-Chorus]
Mass convulsions strike the choir by the grace of God
Gun it while I’m holding on

[Chorus]
But don't stop if I fall, and don't look back
Oh, baby, don't stop, bury me, and fade to black

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door (Whoa!)
She won't stop me, put it down (Yeah!)
She won't stop me, put it down (Let's go!)
She won't stop me, put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door (Whoa!)
She won't stop me, put it down (Yeah!)
She won't stop me, put it down (Whoa!)
She won't stop me, put it down
So baby

[Chorus]
Don't stop if I fall, and don't look back
Oh, baby, don't stop, bury me, and fade to black
But don't stop if I fall, and don't look back
Oh, baby, don't stop, bury me, and fade to black

[Outro]
Don't stop! Well, don't stop! Don't stop!

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
