"Monster" by Skillet
off the album "Awake" (2009)
Tabbed by HashtagMC
 
 
It's important to note that during the verse and intro, the C5 is
always played on the 8th note after the "2" beat, NOT on the "3"
beat, so the chord change is in the offbeat. Keep this in mind
to avoid confusion.

[Verse]
 
F5      C5            Ab5    C5
The secret side of me, I never let you see,
F5     C5             G5    Bb5 F5  Eb5
I keep it caged but I can't control it.
F5      C5           Ab5            C5
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly.
F5      C5             G5 Bb5   F5   Eb5
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it.
F5          C5                Ab5        C5
It's scratchin' on the walls, in the closet, in the halls.
F5       C5          G5   Bb5   F5   Eb5
It comes awake and I just can't hold it.
F5     C5             Ab5      C5
Hidin' under the bed, in my body, in my head.
F5        C5                Ab5
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Bb5
Make it end!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C5                     Eb5
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin,
Ab5                   G5   Bb5    F5  G5
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
C5                      Eb5
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun.
Ab                    G5   Bb5    F5  Eb5
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
C5 Eb5 Ab5         F5  G5   C5 Eb5 Ab5         F5  G5
I, I - feel like a monster! I, I - feel like a monster!

My secrets that I keep, hidden under lock and key, 
F5     C5             G5    Bb5 F5  Eb5
I keep it caged but I can't control it.
F5       C5                   Ab5        C5
Cause if I let him out, he'll tear me up, break me down,
F5        C5                Ab5
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Bb5
Make it end!

I must confess that I feel like a monster!

I, I - feel like a monster! I, I - feel like a monster!
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F5                       C5
It's hidin' in the dark, its teeth are razor sharp,
Eb5
There's no escape for me,
   Ab5
It wants my soul, it wants my heart.
F5                         C5
No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream,
G5
Maybe it's inside of me.
G5   Bb5  F5  G5
Stop this monster!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(this is played only on one string, except for the last line)
 
C5                     Eb5
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin,
Ab5
I must confess that
  G5   Bb5    F5  G5
I feel like a monster!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C5                      Eb5
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun.
Ab5                   G5   Bb5    F5  G5
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
C5 Eb5 Ab5         F5  G5   C5 Eb5 Ab5         F5  G5
I, I - feel like a monster! I, I - feel like a monster!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C5                      Eb5
I'm gonna lose control, it's something radical,
Ab5                   G5   Bb5    F5  G5
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C5 Eb5 Ab5         F5  G5   C5 Eb5 Ab5         F5  G5
I, I - feel like a monster! I, I - feel like a monster!
C5 Eb5 Ab5         F5  G5   C5 Eb5 Ab5         F5  G5
I, I - feel like a monster! I, I - feel like a monster!
