[Intro] D [Verse] D The fire chief believes, that it started in the leaves G D And spread across the yard and up the arbor D A cigarette alone left us out of house and home G D Abandoned on the sidewalk where the sirens and the pirates pick our bones [Chorus] D I'm not the monster that I once was G D Twenty years ago I was more beautiful than I am today [Verse] D Our everyday attire, we lost it in the fire G D Now we're sifting through the cinders and the ashes D Searching for a sign, the remains of yours and mine G D Suspecting all along we may have saved it if we'd only taken time [Chorus] D I'm not the monster that I once was G D Twenty years ago I was more beautiful than I am today D I'm not the monster that I once was G D Twenty years ago I was more beautiful than I am today [Verse] D If the bruises and the scars, reflect the people that we are G D I guess that you could say that we're beyond it D The fire's flickered out, but the damage and the doubt G D Make me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed behind the couch [Chorus] D I'm not the monster that I once was G D Twenty years ago I was more beautiful than I am today D I'm not the monster that I once was G D Twenty years ago I was more beautiful than I am today D I'm not the monster that I once was G D Twenty years ago I was more beautiful than I am today D I'm not the monster that I once was G D Twenty years ago I was more beautiful than I am today
