EAll thAe good Emonsters opAen their EeyesA  
To see the Ewasteland Awhere the home Efires risAe
And thEme people sAmhouting, "Why, Cwhy, why"
Do you Eknow what you Aare?E  A  
Do you Eknow what you Aare?E  A  
EAll Athe gianEts wAake from thEeir sleepA  
And rolEl outside Aof safety'Es keepA  
And the Epain makes theAm feel so EalivAeE  A  
Do you Eknow what you Aare; do you Eknow what you Aare?E  A  
EWe arAe Ebored Aof Eall the Athings we EknowA  
Do you Eknow what you Aare; do you Eknow what you Aare?E  A  
Not Eall monsters are Abad
But the Eones who are Agood
                  E              A              E        A   E   AX4
Never do what they could, never do what they could   
EAll thAe good Emonsters Arattle their EchainsA  
And Emdance around tAmhe open fEmlamesAm  
They Emmake a lot Amof empty Cnoise
While Eall Aof the brEight eyes Aturn awaEyA  
As if there Ewasn't anytAhing to EsayA  
About the Ejustice and Athe myEsteryA  E  A  
Do you Eknow what you Aare?E  A  
Do you Eknow what you Aare?E  A  
EWe Aare Ebored Aof Eall the Athings that we EknowA  
And Ewe Aare Eforms Aof EeverythinAg we lEove, Awe love..
If Egood won't Ashow its Eugly Aface,
EEvil Awon't you Etake your Aplace?
ENothing ever Achanges, Enothing ever Achanges
       E      A   E   AX3
By itself
AWe aEre borAed Eof all tAhe things that Ewe knAow
Do you Eknow what you Aare? E  A  
Because Awe Eare Aso in Elove with AourselvEesA  
EWe Aare Eforms Aof Eall the Athings we Elove.

Chords in this song · guitar

E A E A E A

All the good monsters open their eyes

E A E A

To see the wasteland where the home fires rise

Em Am C

And the people shouting, "Why, why, why"

E A E A

Do you know what you are?

E A E A

Do you know what you are?

E A E A E A

All the giants wake from their sleep

E A E A

And roll outside of safety's keep

E A E A E A

And the pain makes them feel so alive

E A E A E A

Do you know what you are; do you know what you are?

E A E A E A E A

We are bored of all the things we know

E A E A E A

Do you know what you are; do you know what you are?

E A

Not all monsters are bad

E A

But the ones who are good

E A E A E A

Never do what they could, never do what they could

E A E A E A

All the good monsters rattle their chains

Em Am Em Am

And dance around the open flames

Em Am C

They make a lot of empty noise

E A E A E A

While all of the bright eyes turn away

E A E A

As if there wasn't anything to say

E A E A E A

About the justice and the mystery

E A E A

Do you know what you are?

E A E A

Do you know what you are?

E A E A E A E A

We are bored of all the things that we know

E A E A E A E A

And we are forms of everything we love, we love..

E A E A

If good won't show its ugly face,

E A E A

Evil won't you take your place?

E A E A

Nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes

E A E A

By itself

A E A E A E A

We are bored of all the things that we know

E A E A

Do you know what you are?

A E A E A E A

Because we are so in love with ourselves

E A E A E A E

We are forms of all the things we love.
