Verse 1:
                          C
There are monsters in the dark
          Em
I like to find them on my own and then
G                      G
We said, we said, last words over the phone
C                             Em
We rode the interstate, while she would drive I’d narrate
G                     G
Singing our old songs from back home

Pre-Chorus:
C
Come on, come on that’s it now
Em
Pick up we’re gonna hit the town
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
C
We’re not gonna stick around
Em
Better put on your dancing gown
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
C Em G

Chorus:
G                          C    Em G
 There are monsters in the dark
G                          C
 They’re not gonna keep us apart
         Em      G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
G                           C
 I’ll search with all of my heart
         Em      G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
G                          C
 There are monsters in the dark


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


Pre-Chorus:
C
Come on, come on that’s it now
Em
Pick up we’re gonna hit the town
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
C
We’re not gonna stick around
Em
Better put on your dancing gown
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
C Em G

Chorus:
G                          C    Em G
 There are monsters in the dark
G                          C
 They’re not gonna keep us apart
         Em      G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
G                          C
 I’ll search with all of my heart
         Em      G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
G                          C
 They’re not gonna keep us apart
         Em      G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
