"Early Sunsets Over Monroeville" is the eighth song on the My Chemical Romance debut I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. It is based on the storyline of the film Dawn of the Dead (filmed in Pennsylvania's Monroeville Mall), where the man and woman run away but the woman gets bitten by a zombie. As hard as it is, the man has to kill her before she kills him. This is one of only two songs that Frank Iero plays on the record.
It has been rumoured that the song was written by Alex Saavedra of Eyeball Records, with a secondary meaning taking a cheap shot at an ex-girlfriend from Monroeville (a Pittsburgh suburb).
