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.

[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.
