Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

♫ Intro: 
G#m E F# E F# G#m


♫ Verse 1:
E               G#m
They're coming, creeping from the corner
                       E
And all I know is that I don't feel safe
                         G#m
I feel the tapping on my shoulder
       E
I turn around in an alarming state
G#m                               E
But am I losing my mind? I really think so
      G#m
Not a creature in sight
                    E
But, what you don't know

♫ Pre-Chorus: 
                              F#        D#m     D#
Is that my breathing gets faster and so does my heartbeat
E                 F#  D#                           D#m
I wish this was over, I wish that this was a dream but


♫ Chorus: 
                                   B
I created a monster, a hell within my head
                E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
             D#
Oh, I'm so scared
G#m                     B
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain
     E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
        D#
My mind impaired
                       G#m E G#m D#
Awake me from my nightmare


♫ Verse 2:
      G#m
Wait, something doesn't feel right (feel right)

No, something seems wrong (wrong)

And I've been feeling this way (oh that's too bad)
     G#
For far too long
                                              G#m
As my vision gets blurred, my skin's getting colder
                       D#m          G#m
Appearing young, while I'm growing older

I collapse to the floor and scream:
        E      D#         G#m
"Can anybody save me from myself?"


♫ Chorus: 
                                   B
I created a monster, a hell within my head
                 E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
               D#
Oh, I'm so scared
G#m                      B
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain
                 E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
           D#
My mind impaired
                       G#m
Awake me from my nightmare


♫ Bridge: 
                 D#                    E
Walking to the ledge, I find myself looking down
                   D#                            G#m
Frozen still with fear, now I'm plunging to the ground
                      D#
If only I knew how to fly
                        E                          D#
Then I could convince myself this isn't my time to die
                        G#m
Instead I'm rocketing faster and faster
  D#
I dive-bomb to the floor
             E
And when my body crashes to the pavement
      D#
I'm right back where I was before


♫ Chorus: 
G#m                     B
I created a monster, a hell within my head
                 E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
             D#
Oh, I'm so scared
G#m                     B
I created a monster, a hell within my head
                 E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
             D#
Oh, I'm so scared, no, whoa
G#m                      B
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain
                 E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own
            D#
My mind impaired
                       G#m
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)

Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)
D#m          C#m       G#m           E
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)
D#m          C#m       G#m
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)
D#                     G#m
Awake me from my nightmare
