[Verse 1]
C                Eb
- I've lived my life in a cage

         G
Freedom spit in my face

        Dm
It was such a disgrace

          Bb
And I was lonely

              Ab
Burnt out and empty

 G
Desperate.
[Verse 2]
C           Eb
- I had my head in a noose

       G
I had nothing to lose

       Dm
Had enough of abuse

           Bb
So now I'm dangerous

             Ab
Hate's so contagious

    G
It owns us.
[Pre Chorus]
Ab
- I'm angry (I'm angry)

Bb
- I'm raging (I'm raging)

Ab                Bb
- I'm breaking through the pain.
[Chorus]
     C
The monster's loose

             Eb       C
And now you know the truth

                 Bb
Tell me can you feel it

        G
As you hit the wall?

     C
The monster's loose

             Eb       C
And now you have to choose

                        Bb
And prove that you can take it

        G              C
To the top before you fall.
[Verse 3]
C                         G
- I've walked a slippery road

        G
With revenge in my soul
Through the wind and the cold
            Bb
With no protection

           Ab
Just one direction

     G
Destruction.
[Verse 4]
C               Eb
- I've paid for all my mistakes

       G
Taken all I can take

          Dm
Till I'm ready to break

            Bb
Life can be vicious

           Ab
It's so outrageous

     G
It breaks us.
[Pro Chorus]
Ab
- I'm bleeding (I'm bleeding)

Bb
- Still breathing (still breathing)

Ab               Bb
- I'm tearing through these chains.
[Chorus]
     C
The monster's loose

             Eb       C
And now you know the truth

                 Bb
Tell me can you feel it

        G
As you hit the wall?

     C
The monster's loose

             Eb       C
And now you have to choose

                        Bb
And prove that you can take it

        G              C
To the top before you fall.

[Bridge]
C                  Bb               Ab
- I have lived a thousand years in darkness

 G             C
Banished all alone

           Bb               Ab
Inside my mind with just my madness

   G                    C
Behind these walls of stone.

      Bb                     C
I was falling apart at the seams

Bb                          Eb     C
Holding my breath just to breathe

            Bb          Eb
Tasted the sting of my tears.

[Bridge]
C                  Bb          C
- I was waking up stuck in a dream

           Bb               C
Ran out of air, couldn't scream

         Bb         C
Wasted away by my fears

[Additive Chorus]
     C
The monster's loose
You've lost your last excuse
                        Bb
Now show me that you've got it

     G
Even if you crawl.

     C
The monster's loose

              C
This game is win or lose

                     Bb
The time has come to do it

              G                 C
And show the world you want it all.
