[Verse]
Em G
Ever since I could remember,
D A
Everything inside of me,
Em G D A
Just wanted to fit in (oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
Em G
I was never one for pretenders,
D A
Everything I tried to be,
Em G D A
Just wouldn't settle in (oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
If I told you what I was,
D A
Would you turn your back on me?
Em G
And if I seem dangerous,
D A
Would you be scared?
Em G
I get the feeling just because,
D A
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
Em G D
That this problem lies in me
[Chorus]
Em G D A
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
Em G D A
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
Em G
A monster, a monster,
D A
I've turned into a monster,
Em G
A monster, a monster,
D A
And it keeps getting stronger.
[Verse]
Em G
Can I clear my conscience,
D A
If I'm different from the rest,
Em G D A
Do I have to run and hide? (oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
Em G
I never said that I want this,
D A
This burden came to me,
Em G D A
And it's made it's home inside (oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
If I told you what I was,
D A
Would you turn your back on me?
Em G
And if I seem dangerous,
D A
Would you be scared?
Em G
I get the feeling just because,
D A
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
Em G D
That this problem lies in me
[Chorus]
Em G D A
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
Em G D A
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
Em G
A monster, a monster,
D A
I've turned into a monster,
Em G
A monster, a monster,
D A
And it keeps getting stronger.
[Instrumental]
Em G D A x8
[Chorus]
Em G D A
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
Em G D A
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
Em G
A monster, a monster,
D A
I've turned into a monster,
Em G
A monster, a monster,
D A
And it keeps getting stronger.
