Chorus 1:
--- ODYSSEUS ---
        Abmaj7           Ab6
What if I'm the monster? What if I'm in the wrong?
        Gm7              Gm6
What if I'm the problem that's been hiding all along?
            Abmaj7              Ab6
What if I'm the one who killed you every time I caved to guilt?
             Gm7               Gm6
What if I've been far too kind to foes but a monster to ourselves?
        N.C.
What if I'm the monster?

Verse 2:
--- ODYSSEUS ---
    Abmaj7
Is the cyclops struck with guilt when he kills?
   Ab6
Is he up in the middle of the night?
      Gm7
Or does he end my men to avenge his friend
     Gm6
And then sleep knowing he has done him right?
     Abmaj7
When the witch turns men to pigs to protect
  Ab6
Her nymphs is she goin' insane?
      Gm7
Or did she learn to be colder when she got older
  Gm6
And now she saves them the pain?
    Abmaj7
When a god comes down and makes a fleet drown
   Ab6
Is he scared that he's doing something wrong?
      Gm7
Or does he keep us in check so we must respect him
  Gm6
And now no one dares to piss him off?
    Abmaj7
Does a soldier use a wooden horse to kill
     Ab6
Sleeping Trojans 'cause he is vile?
      Gm7
Or does he throw away his remorse
       N.C.
And save more lives with guile?

Chorus 2:
--- ODYSSEUS ---
        Abmaj7            G7
If I became the monster and threw that guilt away
          Cm7                 Bbadd9
Would that make us stronger? Would it keep our foes at bay?
        Abmaj7         G7
If I became the monster to everyone but us
           Cm7                  Bbadd9
And made sure we got home again, who would care if we're unjust?

Bridge:

If I became the (Monster)
  G7               Cm7
Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves (Monster)

And deep down I know this well
     Abmaj7
I lost my best friend, I lost my mentor, my mom
   G7
Five hundred men gone, this can't go on
    Cm7            Bbadd9
I must get to see Penelope and Telemachus
              Cm
So if we must sail through dangerous oceans and beaches
       Gm
I'll go where Poseidon won't reach us
              Ab
And if I gotta drop another infant from a wall
                G7
In an instant, so we all don't die

Chorus 3:
--- ODYSSEUS, (CREW) ---
N.C.         Ab            Gm
Then I'll become the monster, I will deal the blow
          Cm               Bb
And I'll become the monster, like none they've ever known
          Ab           Gm
So what if I'm the monster, lurking deep below?
         Cm               Bb
I must become the monster and then we'll make it home
