C                          G
I’ve always been afraid of monsters
Am                     F
So you’d look under my bed
C                              G
But I don’t think you can help me now
Am                          F    Fm
Because they all live in my head

[Pre-chorus]
                 C
Cause I’ve tried everything to be okay
     G
Yeah I have done it all
      Am
And I wish you could still keep me safe
     F          Fm
From my own downfall
      C
Cause soon enough I’ll mess it up
     G
Just like everything else
        Am
And the scariest of monsters
   F              Fm
Is the one I call myself

[Chorus]
             C
It’s getting late
              G
You should go home
          Am                           F
But secretly I wish you don’t leave me alone
             C
It’s getting dark
              G
And you can’t stay
             Am                           F
Cause if you get to know me I’ll push you away
              Fm
And then I’ll hurt for it
     C                G             Am
Even though it wasn’t me it was the monsters
        F
So stay away
     Fm
From me
              C
Cause I’m the monster

[Verse 2]
C                          G
I’ve tried living life in the shadows
Am                     F
So they’d all leave me alone
C                       G
But the only thing it’s taught me
Am                           F   Fm
Is they’ll follow wherever I go

[Pre-chorus]
                 C
Cause I’ve tried everything to be okay
     G
Yeah I have done it all
    Am
And when things start going my way
       F      Fm
I lose all control
      C
Cause we both know I’m way too strong
   G
to ever ask for help
        Am
But somehow I’m not strong enough
   F            Fm
to ever save myself

[Chorus]
             C
It’s getting late
              G
You should go home
          Am                           F
But secretly I wish you don’t leave me alone
             C
It’s getting dark
              G
And you can’t stay
             Am                           F
Cause if you get to know me I’ll push you away
              Fm
And then I’ll hurt for it
     C                G             Am
Even though it wasn’t me it was the monsters
        F
So stay away
         Fm
From me
              C
Cause I’m the monster
