[Verse 1] [GENERAL MCNAMARA]
                    C     F C
Sometimes you gotta wake

               Am
And answer the call

   G
Or fall

                     C      F C
No need to raise the stakes

                  Am
When you're on the wall

      G
Stand tall
[Pre-Chorus]
                    Am
Sometimes you gotta fill your jets

                    G
Sometimes you gotta slow your breath

                    C
Sometimes you gotta step into the Black and White

    F                  G
And face the thing you dread

                    Am
Sometimes you gotta stand on up

                    G
Sometimes you gotta make your case

                    C
Sometimes you gotta step into the Black and White

    F           G
And needle that thread
[Chorus]
                 C            G         F
'Cause there are monsters and there are men

          C             G            F
There are monsters that live in your head

          Am                          G   F
There are monsters that we all should dread

            G    F
So join the fight

             C   Am
And try your might

            Ab    G   C
Step in the Black and White
[Verse 2]
                         C     F C
There are forces in this world

                   Am
That mean you real harm

                G
If your soul is unarmed

                      C      F C
It is nothing on your phone

              Am
We need every hand

      G
For a scrum that's undermanned
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am
The truly good

           G
Versus the truly bad

             C
You'd better learn to discern it quickly, boys

         F              G
It's the only chance we have

             Am
You'd better align your soul

            G
With what's good and right

         C
Join the only fight that's left

    F                   G
And scour the Black and White
[Chorus]
              C            G         F
For there are monsters and there are men

          C             G            F
There are monsters that live in your head

          Am                          G    F
It is the monsters who should live in dread

             G    F
And fear our might

         C    Am
Join the fight

         Ab    F   C

To become your best self now

Am           G

Requires nothing less

Than your absolute best

When monsters are real

To cast the darkness from light
