Monster

Cm
  How has everything been turned 
against us?
Bb
  How did suffering become so 
endless?
Ab                          
  How am I to reunite with my 
      G4
estranged?
                 G
  Do I need to change?

Cm
  I'm surrounded by the souls of 
those I've lost
Bb
  I'm the only one whose line I 
haven't crossed
Ab                                
  What if the greatest threat 
                  G4
we'll find across the sea
   G
Is me?

                Ab
What if I'm the monster?
                   Db7M
What if I'm in the wrong?
                Bb                 
What if I'm the problem that's been
            Eb7M
 hiding all along?
        Gm              Ab
What if I'm the one who killed you
                      Db7M
Every time I caved to guilt?
                          Bb
What if I've been far too kind to 
foes
                     Eb7M
But a monster to ourselves?
Gm
What if I'm the monster

       Ab
Is the Cyclops struck with guilt 
when he kills?
      Db7M
Is he up in the middle of the night?
           Bb
Or does he end my men to avenge his 
friend
         Eb7M                      
And then sleep knowing he has done 
    Gm
him right?

         Ab                        
When the witch turns men to pigs to
             Db7M
 protect her nymphs

Is she going insane?
           Bb
Or did she learn to be colder when 
she got older
    Eb7M                   Gm
And now she saves them the pain?
       Ab
When a God comes down and makes a 
fleet drown
      Db7M
Is he scared that he's doing 
something wrong?
           Bb
Or does he keep us in check so we 
must respect him
    Eb7M                         
And now no one dares to piss him 
Gm
off?
       Ab                          
Does a soldier use a wooden horse 
                Db7M
to kill sleeping trojans cause he is
 vile?
           Bb
Or does he throw away his remorse 
and save more lives with guile

                Ab                 
If I became the monster, and threw 
            G7
that guilt away
                   Cm
Would that make us stronger?
                          Bb
Would it keep our foes at bay?
                Ab                 
If I became the monster to everyone
      G7
 but us
                     Cm
And made sure we got home again
                           Bb
Who would care if we're unjust?
                Ab
If I became the Monster
    G               G7       
Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon 
       Cm
ourselves
         Bb
And deep down I know this well
          Ab
I lost my best friend

I lost my mentor, my mom
     G
Five hundred men gone, this can't go
 on
       Cm                     
I must get to see Penelope and 
    Bb
Telemachus
   G                       Cm
So if we must sail through dangerous
 oceans and beaches
     Bb
I'll go where Poseidon won't reach 
us
                            Ab
And if I gotta drop another infant 
from a wall
                              G
In an instant so we all don't die
                     Ab
Then I'll become the Monster
                G7
I will deal the blow
                    Cm
And I'll become the Monster
                       Bb
Like none they've ever known
                   Ab
So what if I'm the Monster
               G7
Lurking deep below?
                  Cm
I must become the Monster
                       Bb
And then we'll make it home
