1. The beast in me       is caged 
    G                 C
by frail and fragile bars,
F               G            C  
    restless by day, and by 
            Bb            D7

     F          G               C

     F         G                C
    God help       the beast in me.

E                              
    Sometimes it tries to kid me 
             F
that it's just a teddy bear,
    and even somehow manage to 
 C

        G     C
everybody knows,

    they've seen him out dressed 
       C       Bb           D7
in my clothes, patently unclear,
             F               C

F     G                 C
          the beast in me.
