EmG
Ever since I could remember,
DA
Everything inside of me,
EmGDA
Just wanted to fit in (oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
EmG
I was never one for pretenders,
DA
Everything I tried to be,
EmGDA
Just wouldn't settle in (oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
EmG
If I told you what I was,
DA
Would you turn your back on me?
EmG
And if I seem dangerous,
DA
Would you be scared?
EmG
I get the feeling just because,
DA
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
EmGD
That this problem lies in me
[Chorus]
EmGDA
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
EmGDA
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
EmG
A monster, a monster,
DA
I've turned into a monster,
EmG
A monster, a monster,
DA
And it keeps getting stronger.
[Verse]
EmG
Can I clear my conscience,
DA
If I'm different from the rest,
EmGDA
Do I have to run and hide? (oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
EmG
I never said that I want this,
DA
This burden came to me,
EmGDA
And it's made it's home inside (oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
EmG
If I told you what I was,
DA
Would you turn your back on me?
EmG
And if I seem dangerous,
DA
Would you be scared?
EmG
I get the feeling just because,
DA
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
EmGD
That this problem lies in me
[Chorus]
EmGDA
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
EmGDA
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
EmG
A monster, a monster,
DA
I've turned into a monster,
EmG
A monster, a monster,
DA
And it keeps getting stronger.

[Chorus]
EmGDA
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
EmGDA
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
EmG
A monster, a monster,
DA
I've turned into a monster,
EmG
A monster, a monster,
DA
And it keeps getting stronger.
