VERSE: ** MAIN RIFF **
 Am
They’ve been calling me the monster
 G                        Am
Ever since the day I was born

Never saying huh (huh)

Don’t hurt no-one (don’t hurt no-one)
 G                     Am
Each and every Sunday morn

   Am
I rise so strong is that so wrong
D                           G
I don’t mean to devastate (she don’t mean to devastate)


PRE-CHORUS: ** MAIN RIFF **
They say
 Am
Here come the monster everybody run
  G                    Am
Shouting out loud and beating that drum

I’m gigantic,(gantic) titanic (tanic)

I might cause a panic (panic)
  G                C      Am
Ready or not baby here I come


CHORUS: (PLAY CHORDS)

Full of desire full of love (full of love)
Am

              D                    Am
The one that everyone is so afraid of (so afraid of)

Nobody is satisfied (Nobody is satisfied)
