--- 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.

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?

Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves (Monster)
         Bbadd9
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

                    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
