[tab] 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                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

 E7                           
 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       G       C  
 If it's New York or New Year

 F       G             C     F
 God help the beast in me    

 G            C 
 The beast in me
