Tom: C
Am F
[Verse]
Am
Simmer down
F
Says the angel on your shoulder
Am
Louder now
F
Says the fire at your neck
Dm
But I know you much better
Am
You wouldn't play without flame
Dm
Watch it burn watch it flicker
F
Til it's something that you can take
Am
Hear the ghosts
F
As they assemble in the evening
Am
Whispering
F
Yes, they're calling out your name
Dm
Well if you aren't such a coward
Am
Get up from under your bed
Dm
And tell me what it is you're after
F
That's when you looked up at me and said
[Chorus)
Am
"Well, I'm just a monster,
F C G
Hiding from sighting til someone comes my way
Am
I'm just a monster
F C G
No one will stay 'cause I scare them all away
Am F
I'm just a lonely, leery, weary soul
C G
Who's longing for a heart"
Am
No you're no monster
F C G
You're still afraid of the dark
[Verse}
Am
Tell me now,
F
What's the spell that I've been under?
Am
"Help me out"
F
You ask with hunger in your eyes
Dm
For the love is the answer
Am
I was dead from the start
Dm
Who could love this disaster?
F
Just a body no beating heart
[Chorus]
Am
"Well, I'm just a monster,
F C G
Hiding from sighting til someone comes my way
Am
I'm just a monster
F C G
No one will stay 'cause I scare them all away
Am
I'm just a monster,
F C G
Hiding from sighting til someone comes my way
Am
I'm just a monster
F C G
No one will stay 'cause I scare them all away
Am F
I'm just a lonely, leery, weary soul
C G
Who's longing for a heart"
Am
No you're no monster
F C
You're still afraid of the dark
G Am F C
You're still afraid of the dark
G Am F C
Afraid of the dark
