C
The beast in me
F G C
Is caged by frail and fragile bars
F G
Restless by day
C Bb D7
And by night rants and rages at the stars
F G C
God help the beast in me
C
The beast in me
F G C
Has had to learn to live with pain
F G
And how to shelter from the rain
C Bb
And in the twinkling of an eye
D7
Might have to be restrained
F G C
God help the beast in me
E
Sometimes it tries to kid me
F
That it's just a teddy bear
C
And even somehow manage to vanish in the air
G
And that is when I must beware
C F G C
Of the beast in me that everybody knows
F G C
They've seen him out dressed in my clothes
Bb D7
Patently unclear
F C
It it's New York or New Year
F G C F
God help the beast in me
G C
The beast in me
