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