"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]

          
The secret sid

           
e of me, I nev

 
er let you see

,
          
I keep it cage

control it.
          
So stay away f

           
rom me, the be

        
ast is ugly.
          
I feel the rag

          
e and I just c

      
an't hold it.
          
It's scratchin

              
' on the walls

          
, in the close


t, in the hall

s.
          
It comes awake

          
 and I just ca

      
n't hold it.
          
Hidin' under t

           
he bed, in my 

   
body, in my he

ad.
          
Why won't some

              
body come and 


save me from t

his?

Make it end!


[Chorus]

            
I feel it deep

         
 within, it's 

just beneath t

he skin,
           
I must confess

           
 that I feel l

      
ike a monster!
            
I hate what I'

          
ve become, the

 nightmare's j

ust begun.
            
I must confess

           
 that I feel l

      
ike a monster!
      
I, I - feel li

          
ke a monster! 

      
I, I - feel li

       
ke a monster!

[Bridge]

            
It's hidin' in

           
 the dark, its

 teeth are raz

or sharp,

There's no esc

ape for me,
   
It wants my so

ul, it wants m

y heart.
            
No one can hea

             
r me scream, m


aybe it's just

 a dream,

Maybe it's ins

ide of me.
       
Stop this mons


ter!


[Chorus]

(this is played only on one string, except for the last line)

            
I feel it deep

         
 within, it's 

just beneath t

he skin,

I must confess

 that
         
I feel like a 

  
monster!


[Chorus]

            
I hate what I'

          
ve become, the

 nightmare's j

ust begun.
           
I must confess

I, I - feel li

          
ke a monster! 

      
I, I - feel li

       
ke a monster!


[Chorus]

            
I'm gonna lose

          
 control, it's

 something rad

ical,
           
I must confess

           
 that I feel l

      
ike a monster!


[Chorus]

      
I, I - feel li

          
ke a monster! 

      
I, I - feel li

       
ke a monster!
      
I, I - feel li
