Imagine Dragons - Monster
Capo 1
Standard Tuning: EADGBE
Verse
[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-Chorus
[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
Chorus
[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.
Verse
[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-Chorus
[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
Chorus
[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.

A monster, a monster,

I've turned into a monster,

A monster, a monster,
[D] [A]
And it keeps getting stronger.
