Dm/A Am 
you just stood there screaming 
Dm/A 
fearing no one was listening to you 
 
they say the empty can rattles the most

hearing only what you want to hear 
 
and knowing only what you've heard

you, you're smothered in tragedy

and you're out to save the world

no one caring about these words you tell 
 
my friend, before your voice is gone

you, you'll take it on all yourself

remember, misery loves company
