Monster chords by Skillet (Ver. 2)

"Monster" by Skillet
off the album "Awake" (2009)
Tabbed by HashtagMC


It's important to note that during the verse and intro, the C5 is
always played on the 8th note after the "2" beat, NOT on the "3"
beat, so the chord change is in the offbeat. Keep this in mind
to avoid confusion.

It's scratchin' on the walls, in the closet, in the halls.

Hidin' under the bed, in my body, in my head.

I must confess that I feel like a monster!

F5                      C5
It's hidin in the dark, it's teeth are razor sharp,

There's no escape for me,

It wants my soul, it wants my heart.

No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream,
G5
Maybe it's inside of me.
G5   Bb5  F5  G5
Stop this monster!
