[Intro]

E          A          F#m          E          F#m

[Verse]
        E                                         A  
There's shadows on the walls of moments far too troubling to recall.
                          F#m
All the settings and the scenes that signal suffering impassioned pleas that 
            E                    F#m
ended in a whisper.

[Verse 2]  
    E                                                      A
And all the lessons learned, were they worth the ash from all the bridges burned?
                           F#m
Standing, stomping in the damage and the ruins of the slip of tongue with 
            E
tragic consequences.

[Pre-Chorus]
      A
But I think that we've all made our gravest mistakes on the greatest 
                                          E
intentions that we're too stubborn to let go.

[Chorus]
(E)                     A                    F#m
With this little time before I go, I'll open up my mouth and scream it out 
                             E                    F#m
to cast my voice into the crowd.

[Verse 3]
E                                        A
Now that you're alone, is it really so impossible to know all the actions 
      F#m                                                             E
and reactions pinned against each other never really end just how you wanted?

[Pre-Chorus]
      A
But I think that we've all made our gravest mistakes on the greatest 
                                           E
intentions that we're too stubborn to let go.

[Chorus]
(E)                     A                    F#m
With this little time before I go, I'll open up my mouth and scream it out 
                             E               
to cast my voice into the crowd.
E          (E)(F#m)(G#m)(E)  A                    F#m
I know that all of this will come and go, so open up your mouth and scream 
                                      E
it out to cast your voice into the crowd.

[Outro]
F#m                                               E
Don't let the world, don't let the world beat you down.
F#m                                               E
Don't let the world, don't let the world beat you down.
(E)
So open up your mouth and scream it out to cast your voice into the crowd.
F#m                                               E
Don't let the world, don't let the world beat you down.
(E)
So open up your mouth and scream it out to cast your voice into the crowd.
F#m                                               E
Don't let the world, don't let the world beat you down.
(E)
So open up your mouth and scream it out to cast your voice into the crowd.
