Eb
The beast in me
Ab          Bb                 Eb
Is caged by frail and fragile bars
Ab           Bb          Eb
Restless by day and by night
                         F
Rants and rages at the stars
Ab       Bb           Eb
God help the beast in me

[Verse 2]
             Eb
The beast in me
Ab         Bb                 Eb
Has had to learn to live with pain
Ab         Bb               Eb
And how to shelter from the rain
Ab         Bb              Eb
And in the twinkling of an eye
                      F
Might have to be restrained
Ab       Bb           Eb
God help the beast in me

[Bridge]
G
Sometimes it tries to kid me
           Ab
That it's just a teddy bear

Or even somehow manage
     Eb
To vanish in the air
              Bb
Then that is when I must beware

[Verse 3]
                Eb
Of the beast in me
Ab        Bb     Eb
That everybody knows
Ab                   Bb             Eb
They've seen him out dressed in my clothes
         F
Patently unclear
        Ab              Eb
If it's New York or New Year
Ab       Bb           Eb     Ab
God help the beast in me
    Bb       Eb
The beast in me
