Am F C G Am Dm C G
AmI can’t sleep, love, it’s Ahard to Cthink
And I’m drowning in another drink
And I’m wasting my time Gagain
And AmI’m hurting deep inside 
There’s Fno place left for me to hide
And it’s Cdark here
So where’s my Glight?
Well AmI’m lying if I said I’m okay
Cause Fthe truth is I’m out of Cplace 
I don’t feel like anybGody here
AmOh but I’m trying the beFst I can
And I know you donDm’t understand Chow I ended up this Gway
FThere was a Ammonster in my Fhead and memoAmries F  
AmAll the pClaces that I’ve Fbeen and all I’ve Amseen 
FWell I am better now I wish you all could Amsee F  
That a Ammonster is no Flonger with Amme
CTell me it’ll be Emalright and
CMaybe I can sleep tonight and tomorrow it won’t Gfeel like today
AmI can’t stop, love, I’m not okay and CI feel it every day 
I’m losing
I need to Gfind a way
Yeah but itAm’s hard when I’m all alone
When the Flights are off and Cno one’s home but the moGnsters in my head
Yeah Amwell, this ain’t really me
It’Cs just the Fbroken piece you seCe lying on the floor beside my Gbed
FThere was a Ammonster in my Fhead and memoAmries F  
AmAll the pClaces that I’ve Fbeen and all I’ve Amseen 
FWell I am better now I wish you all could Amsee F  
That a Ammonster is no Flonger with Amme
CThere’s a monster in aEmll our heads
It’s in our Cmemories, under our Cbeds in the places we don’t want tGo go
And it Amstops us from who we should be 
And it Fclouds all the Cthings we should see
And it hurts, love, but you already Gknow
It’s not Ameasy to hide from the truth
Yeah to Fslip back into the bClue
And I know that you’re not Gokay
But if you Amface it you might find you’ll Fmake it to the other Cside of a brand new light 
On a brand new Gday

Monster – Paul Waters

Am F C G Am Dm C G

Am A C

I can’t sleep, love, it’s hard to think

And I’m drowning in another drink

And I’m wasting my time again

And I’m hurting deep inside

There’s no place left for me to hide

And it’s dark here

So where’s my light?

Well I’m lying if I said I’m okay

F C

Cause the truth is I’m out of place

I don’t feel like anybody here

Am F

Oh but I’m trying the best I can

Dm C G

And I know you don’t understand how I ended up this way

F Am F Am F

There was a monster in my head and memories

Am C F Am

All the places that I’ve been and all I’ve seen

F Am F

Well I am better now I wish you all could see

Am F Am

That a monster is no longer with me

C Em

Tell me it’ll be alright and

C G

Maybe I can sleep tonight and tomorrow it won’t feel like today

Am C

I can’t stop, love, I’m not okay and I feel it every day

I’m losing

I need to find a way

Yeah but it’s hard when I’m all alone

F C G

When the lights are off and no one’s home but the monsters in my head

Yeah well, this ain’t really me

C F C G

It’s just the broken piece you see lying on the floor beside my bed

F Am F Am F

There was a monster in my head and memories

Am C F Am

All the places that I’ve been and all I’ve seen

F Am F

Well I am better now I wish you all could see

Am F Am

That a monster is no longer with me

C Em

There’s a monster in all our heads

C C G

It’s in our memories, under our beds in the places we don’t want to go

And it stops us from who we should be

F C

And it clouds all the things we should see

And it hurts, love, but you already know

It’s not easy to hide from the truth

F C

Yeah to slip back into the blue

And I know that you’re not okay

Am F C

But if you face it you might find you’ll make it to the other side of a brand new light

On a brand new day

F Am F Am

There was monster in my head and memories

F Am F Am

In all the places that I’ve been and all I’ve seen

F Am F Am

But I am better now I wish you all could see

F Am F Am

That monster is no longer with me

F Am C Am

Oh, that monster is no longer me

F E

C#m Am

And it’s good to feel free
