C
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
The beast in me
Has had to learn to live with pain
And how to shelter from the rain
And in the twinkling of an eye
Might have to be restrained
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
Enjoy!
