Fm            G#
Ever since I could remember,
D#     A#
Everything inside of me,
Fm    G#           D# A#
Just wanted to fit in

I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in

Fm             G#
If I told you what I was,
D#                   A#
Would you turn your back on me?
Fm             G#
And if I seem dangerous,
D#             A#
Would you be scared?
Fm                 G#
I get the feeling just because,
D#                        A#
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
Fm         G#             D#
That this problem lies in me

Chorus:
    Fm     G#         D#         A#
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
    Fm        G#         D#            A#
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
   Fm         G#
A monster, A monster,
      D#            A#
I've turned into a monster,
   Fm         G#
A monster, A monster,
        D#              A#
And it keeps getting stronger.

Can I clear my conscience
If I'm different from the rest?
Do I have to run and hide?

I never said that I want this
This burden came to me
And it's made its home inside

If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seemed dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me

Chorus - x2
