[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
When the lights go out, will you take me with you
And carry all this broken bone
Through six years down
In crowded rooms and highways I call home?
It's something I can't know 'til now
'Til you pick me off the ground
With a brick in hand
Your lip-gloss smile, your scraped-up knees

[Chorus]
And if you stay, I would even wait all night
Or until my heart explodes, how long until we
Find our way in the dark and out of harm?
You can run away with me anytime you want

[Verse 2]
Terrified of what I'd be
As a kid, from what I've seen
Every single day, when people try and
Put the pieces back
Together just to smash them down
Turn my headphones up, real loud
I don't think I need them, now
'Cause you stop the noise

[Chorus]
And if you stay, I would even wait all night
Or until my heart explodes, how long until we
Find our way in the dark and out of harm?
You can run away with me anytime you want

[Post-Chorus]
Well, anytime you want
Well, anytime you want

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Don't walk away, don't walk away!

[Chorus]
'Cause if you stay, I would even wait all night
Or until my heart explodes, how long until we
Find our way in the dark and out of harm?
You can run away with me

[Post-Chorus]
Or you can write it on your arm
You can run away with me anytime you want

My Chemical Romance

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
