Monsters

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
