Shinedown - Dangerous
From the album: Threat to Survival (2015)
Comment for any corrections and please rate
The Em in the bridge and in the end of the song might sound weird because it doesn't belong with these chords,
But when you listen well to the bass-line and the rhythm guitar you hear they play the Em.
Intro:
Dm   Am Bb
Dm   Am Bb
          Dm                    Am Bb
I could stand behind my barricade
             Dm                        Am Bb
Do what I’m told and be afraid to change
          Dm                   Am Bb
While isolated by the mainstream
          Dm                 Am Bb
With the current up against me
      Dm                    Am       Bb
Well maybe if my arms were ten feet tall
Dm                           Am     Bb
I could finally reach that crystal ball
       Bb       F      Am
‘Cause I still find inside
                    Bb
There’s something braver
    Bb          F           Am
And I, I won’t be, I won’t be
               Bb
The silent damnation
Dm               C
I will never be voiceless
               Am
My weapon of choice is
               Bb
I’d rather be dangerous
Dm                 C
I won’t be left defenseless
              Am
As God as my witness
               Bb
I’d rather be dangerous, dangerous
         Dm               Am Bb
I’m not making conversation
           Dm                Am Bb
But I’ll state my observations
     Dm                            Am          Bb
Well I could buy my faith like a plot in the ground
    Dm                      Am          Bb
But I was never lost and I never had a doubt
       Bb       F              Am      Bb
‘Cause I still find, it’s not my imagination
    Bb       F           Am               Bb
And I won’t be, I won’t be the silent damnation
Dm               C
I will never be voiceless
               Am
My weapon of choice is
               Bb
I’d rather be dangerous
Dm                 C
I won’t be left defenseless
              Am
As God as my witness
               Bb         Gm
I’d rather be dangerous, dangerous
Dm        Em
Everybody is somebody
    F           Gm
And anybody is you
  Dm               Em
I own my story, I won’t say sorry
F                    Gm
 And neither should you
Dm  Am Bb F  Gm
Dm  Em  F  Gm
              I will never be
Dm               C
I will never be voiceless
               Am
My weapon of choice is
               Bb
I’d rather be dangerous
Dm                 C
I won’t be left defenseless
              Am
As God as my witness
               Bb
I’d rather be dangerous
Dm        C
Everybody is somebody
    Am          Bb
And anybody is you
Dm               Em                       F
I will never be voiceless (Will never be voiceless)
              Gm
As God as my witness (God as my witness)
Dm                 Em
I won’t be left defenseless
              F
As God as my witness
