Monster Counting Stars

                      Am      C   
I'm friends with the monster 
    G       F
that's under my bed
                      Am    C     
Get along with the voices inside 
         G  F
of my head
                      Am      
You're trying to save me, stop 
    C        G  F
holding your breath
                      Am           
(Strum last chord)
 C      G  F

And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you 
think I'm crazy


(PALM MUTE STRUM)
           Am
I see this life like a swinging vine
C
Swing my heart across the line
G
In my face is flashing signs
F
Seek it out and ye shall find
Am
Oh, but I'm not that old
C
Young, but I'm not that bold
G
I don't think the world is sold
F
I'm just doing what we're told


(PICK MUTE, repeat first verse)

Am C                G
I feel something so right
          F
Doing the wrong thing
Am C                G
I feel something so wrong
          F
Doing the right thing
