[Chorus]
(picking)
I see your moEm7nsters, I see your paCadd9in.
Tell me your pGroblems, I'll chase them Gsus2/F#away.
I'll be your lEm7ighthouse. I'll make it oCadd9kay.
When I see your mGonsters I'll stand there so Gsus2/F#brave, and chase them all away.
[Verse 1]
Em7A cup of coffee still steaming,
Cadd9staring back at me and it's blacker than the night, eh.
GI'm awake but still sleeping,
I keep Gsus2/F#telling myself I'll be alright (I won't).
Em7And I know it can't get worse than today,
Cadd9sitting here and she's trying to rehearse what to say.
GSee, she's in the bathroom and hoping I'm not in earshot,
Gsus2/F#while she's getting used to the sound of her teardrops.
Em7Splash, it hits the dot and I know it's been
aCadd9while since you've seen me smile and laugh, like I used to.
GI've been in denial since it happened,
just take me to the Gsus2/F#past, cause I just can't imagine losing you, Em7too.
I can't explain this so I keep it all inside,
Cadd9wear my pain but it's masked by my pride.
GShe came to hold me and she cried,
told me this and she sGsus2/F#tared into my eyes and said..
[Chorus]
I see your moEm7nsters, I see your paCadd9in.
Tell me your pGroblems, I'll chase them Gsus2/F#away.
I'll be your lEm7ighthouse. I'll make it oCadd9kay.
When I see your mGonsters I'll stand there so Gsus2/F#brave, and chase them all away.
[Verse 2]
Em7I can't, you won't like what you see.
Cadd9If you were in my head and had to hear my plea.
It's like, GI can't believe this is happening to me.
Gsus2/F#And could someone please shut this fuck answering machine,
so I cEm7an stop leaving these messages that you will never Cadd9get.
And all these cries for help you'll never see, you'll never check.
GBut I guess it's easy for you to leave me.
But Gsus2/F#believe me, see this isn't something that imma just forget.
Em7I would trade it all for one more minute,
don't you Cadd9see I really need you to talk to.
Uh, GI'm still sitting here wondering who did it,
while I'm Gsus2/F#staring out our front door knowing you'll never walk through.
Em7Said you'd come right bacCadd9k, now you're gone like that.
GA blank stare as I stand so alone, I know you're Gsus2/F#never coming home. Damn.
[Chorus]
I see your moEm7nsters, I see your paCadd9in.
Tell me your pGroblems, I'll chase them Gsus2/F#away.
I'll be your lEm7ighthouse. I'll make it oCadd9kay.
When I see your mGonsters I'll stand there so Gsus2/F#brave, and chase them all aCadd9way.
[Bridge]
Uh, I got a heart made of fools gold, Ggot me feeling so cold.
They kGsus2/F#eep chipping aCway. All the promises I told,
Gfelt like I was on Gsus2/F#those, they keep slipping Cadd9away.
I want nobody else, but it's Em7hard to get to know me when I Gsus2/F#don't know myself.
And it Am7helps cause I felt i was down, I was out, then you looked at me now and said...
[Chorus]
(2x)
I see your moEm7nsters, I see your paCadd9in.
Tell me your pGroblems, I'll chase them Gsus2/F#away.
I'll be your lEm7ighthouse. I'll make it oCadd9kay.
