             C majorC
There are monsters in the dark
     E minorEm
I like to find them on my own and then
G+G           G+G
We said, we said, last words over the phone
C majorC               E minorEm
We rode the interstate, while she would drive I’d narrate

Singing our old songs from back home

Pick up we’re gonna hit the town

Come on, come on (whoa)

Better put on your dancing gown

Verse 2:
       E minorEm
And a single step is all it takes
   G+G              G+G
Over oceans, all emotions, I feel trapped under the weight
      C majorC          E minorEm
Can’t keep my head above water long enough to say
    G+G                 G+G
That I love and miss you dearly more and more after each day
        C majorC
(What’s in the dark?)
        E minorEm
And I start to feel like one of them
    G+G              G+G
I keep waking up beside her, every time a different bed
   C majorC        E minorEm
Woken by strangers, no word from friends
   G+G                 G+G
Well maybe there’s some evil ones just haven’t found them yet


Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
Come on, come on that’s it now
E minorEm
Pick up we’re gonna hit the town

Come on, come on (whoa)

 I’ll search with all of my heart
     E minorEm   G+G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)

 They’re not gonna keep us apart
     E minorEm   G+G
