Monsters

I see your [Am] monsters
I see your [F] pain
Tell me your [C] problems
I’ll chase them [G] away

I’ll be your [Am] lighthouse
I’ll make it [F] okay
When I see your [C] monsters
I’ll stand there so [G] brave
And chase them all [Am] away

[Am] A cup of coffee still steaming
[F] Staring back at me, it’s blacker than the [C] night
I’m awake but still sleeping
[G] I keep telling myself I’ll be alright (I [Am] won’t)
And I know it can’t get worse than today
Sitting [F] here and she’s trying to rehearse what to say
[C] See, she’s in the bathroom hoping I’m not in earshot
[G] While she’s getting used to the sound of a teardrop [Am] (Splash)
It hits the tile
And I know it’s [F] been a while since you seen me
Smile and laugh like I used to
[C] I’ve been in denial since it [G] happened
Just take me to the [G] past
‘Cause I just can’t imagine losing you [Am] (too)
I can’t explain this so I’ll keep it all [F] inside
Wear my pain, but it’s masked by my [C] pride
She came to hold me and she cried
Told me this as she [G] stared into my eyes, said

I see your [Am] monsters
I see your [F] pain
Tell me your [C] problems
I’ll chase them [G] away

I’ll be your [Am] lighthouse
I’ll make it [F] okay
When I see your [C] monsters
I’ll stand there so [G] brave
And chase them all [Am] away

I can’t
You won’t like what you [F] see
If you were in my head and had to hear my pleas
It’s like
[C] I can’t believe this is happening to me
And [G] could someone please shut this fucking answering machine
So [Am] I can start leaving these messages
That you will never [F] get
And all these cries for help
You’ll never see and never check
[C] But I guess it’s easy for you to leave me
But [G] believe me
See this isn’t something that Imma just forget
[Am] I would trade it all for one more minute
Don’t you [F] see I really need you to talk to
[C] I’m still sitting here wondering who did it
While I’m [G] staring out our front door
Knowing you’ll never walk [Am] through
Said you’d come right [F] back
And now you’re gone like [C] that
A blank stare as I stand so alone
And know you’re [G] never coming home (damn)

I see your [Am] monsters
I see your [F] pain
Tell me your [C] problems
I’ll chase them [G] away

I’ll be your [Am] lighthouse
I’ll make it [F] okay
When I see your [C] monsters
I’ll stand there so [G] brave
And chase them all away

* [F] I got a [C] heart made of fool’s [G] gold
Got me feeling so cold
But you chipping [F] away
All the [C] promises that I told
[G] Felt like I was on those
But keep slipping [F] away
I want nobody [C] else
But it’s hard to get to [G] know me
When I don’t know myself
And it [F] helps
‘Cause I felt
I was [C] down, I was out
Then you [F] looked at me now
And [G] said

I see your [Am] monsters
I see your [F] pain
Tell me your [C] problems
I’ll chase them [G] away

I’ll be your [Am] lighthouse
I’ll make it [F] okay
When I see your [C] monsters
I’ll stand there so [G] brave

I see your [Am] monsters
I see your [F] pain
Tell me your [C] problems
I’ll chase them [G] away

I’ll be your [Am] lighthouse
I’ll make it [F] okay
When I see your [C] monsters
I’ll stand there so [G] brave
And chase them all [Am] away
