[Intro] G#m E F# E F# G#m [Verse 1]
E               G#m
They're coming, creeping from the corner

                       E
And all I know is that I don't feel safe

                         G#m
I feel the tapping on my shoulder

       E
I turn around in an alarming state

G#m                               E
But am I losing my mind? I really think so

      G#m
Not a creature in sight

                    E
But, what you don't know
[Pre-Chorus]
                              F#        D#m     D#
Is that my breathing gets faster and so does my heartbeat

E                 F#  D#                           D#m
I wish this was over, I wish that this was a dream but
[Chorus]
                                   B
I created a monster, a hell within my head

                E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

             D#
Oh, I'm so scared

G#m                     B
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain

     E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

        D#
My mind impaired

                       G#m E G#m D#
Awake me from my nightmare
[Verse 2]
      G#m
Wait, something doesn't feel right (feel right)
No, something seems wrong (wrong) And I've been feeling this way (oh that's too bad)
     G#
For far too long

                                              G#m
As my vision gets blurred, my skin's getting colder

                       D#m          G#m
Appearing young, while I'm growing older
I collapse to the floor and scream:
        E      D#         G#m
"Can anybody save me from myself?"
[Chorus]
                                   B
I created a monster, a hell within my head

                 E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

               D#
Oh, I'm so scared

G#m                      B
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain

                 E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

           D#
My mind impaired

                       G#m
Awake me from my nightmare
[Bridge]
                 D#                    E
Walking to the ledge, I find myself looking down

                   D#                            G#m
Frozen still with fear, now I'm plunging to the ground

                      D#
If only I knew how to fly

                        E                          D#
Then I could convince myself this isn't my time to die

                        G#m
Instead I'm rocketing faster and faster

  D#
I dive-bomb to the floor

             E
And when my body crashes to the pavement

      D#
I'm right back where I was before
[Chorus]
G#m                     B
I created a monster, a hell within my head

                 E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

             D#
Oh, I'm so scared

G#m                     B
I created a monster, a hell within my head

                 E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

             D#
Oh, I'm so scared, no, whoa

G#m                      B
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain

                 E
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

            D#
My mind impaired

                       G#m
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)
D#m          C#m       G#m           E
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)

D#m          C#m       G#m
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)

D#                     G#m
Awake me from my nightmare
