The beast in me
F G C
Is caged by frail and fragile bars
F G
Restless by day

And by night rants and rages at the stars
F G C
God help the beast in me

The beast in me
F G C
Has had to learn to live with pain
F G C
And how to shelter from the rain
F G C Bb D7
And in the twinkling of an eye might have to be restrained
F G C
God help the beast in me

And even somehow manage to vanish in the air

And that is when I must beware

Of the beast in me that everybody knows

Patently unclear
F G C
It it's New York or New Year
F G C F
God help the beast in me

The beast in me
