Sound Of Madness - Shinedown
[Intro]
Ab Dm Ab Dm
[Verse 1]
Ab                        Dm
Yeah, I get it, you're an outcast
Always under attack, always coming in last
                             Ab
Bringing up the past, no one owes you anything
Dm
I think you need a shotgun blast, a kick in the ass
             Ab               Dm  Ab Dm
So paranoid, watch your back
[Verse 2]
Ab G
    Oh my, here we go
 Dm
Another loose cannon gone bi-polar
                       Ab
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower
Dm
Quicksand's got no sense of humour
Ab                      G
I'm still laughing like hell
Dm
You think that by crying to me
                          Ab
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe
            Dm
You've been infected by a social disease
          Ab
Well then take your medicine
[Chorus]
Bb            Dm                          F
I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain
            C
Somehow I'm still here to explain
Bb               Dm                      F
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
                     C
You can sleep with a gun
                           Ab          Dm             Ab Dm Ab
When you gonna wake up and fi-i-i-ight   (for yourself)
[Verse 3]
                    Dm
I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality
                                   Ab
If there's an afterlife then it'll set you free
    Dm
But I'm not gonna part the seas
         Ab              G
You're a self-fulfilling prophecy
Dm
You think that by crying to me
                          Ab
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe
            Dm
You've been infected by a social disease
          Ab
Well then take your medicine
[Chorus]
Bb            Dm                          F
I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain
            C
Somehow I'm still here to explain
Bb                Dm                      F
 That the darkest hour never comes in the night
                     C
You can sleep with a gun
                           Ab
When you gonna wake up and fi-i-i-ight
[Solo]
Am C             G D
   (for yourself)
Am C G A
[Bridge]
              Dm                          F
I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain
            C
Somehow I'm still here to explain
Bb                Dm                      F
 That the darkest hour never comes in the night
                     C
You can sleep with a gun
                                                   Ab
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up and fight?
[Chorus]
Bb            Dm                          F
I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain
            C
Somehow I'm still here to explain
Bb               Dm                      F
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
                     C
You can sleep with a gun            
[Outro]
                           Bb   Dm
When you gonna wake up and fight   (for yourself)
F                          C
When you gonna wake up and fight (for yourself)
Bb                         Dm
When you gonna wake up and fight (for yourself)
F                          Ab          Dm Ab              Dm Ab Dm
When you gonna wake up and fi-i-i-ight      (for yourself)
