C#m x46600 A 002200 F#m 244222 B 024400 [Verse 1]
C#m
Under the knife I surrendered
The innocence yours to consume
             A
You cut it away

         F#m
And you filled me up with hate

C#m
Into the silence you sent me
Into the fire consumed
                    A
You thought I’d forget

            F#m
But it’s always in my head
[Chorus]
            A
You're the pulse in my veins

            F#m
You're the war that I wage

          C#m
Can you change me?

          B
Can you change me?

            A
You're the love that I hate

             F#m
You're the drug that I take

          C#m
Will you cage me?

          B
Will you cage me?

            A
You're the pulse in my veins

            F#m
You're the war that I wage

          C#m
Can you change me?

          B
Can you change me?

                      A         F#m
From the monster you made me?

                 C#m      B    
The monster you made me?
[Verse 2]
C#m
This is the world you've created
The product of what I've become
                A
My soul and my youth

           F#m
Seems it's all for you to use

C#m
If I could take back the moment
I let you get under my skin
             A
Relent or resist?

           F#m
Seems the monster always wins
[Chorus]
            A
You're the pulse in my veins

            F#m
You're the war that I wage

          C#m
Can you change me?

          B
Can you change me?

            A
You're the love that I hate

             F#m
You're the drug that I take

          C#m
Will you cage me?

          B
Will you cage me?

            A
You're the pulse in my veins

            F#m
You're the war that I wage

          C#m
Can you change me?

          B
Can you change me?

                      A         F#m
From the monster you made me?

                 C#m      B    
The monster you made me?
[Bridge]
              A                  C#m
My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul

              B                         F#m
I'll lift you up and then I'll let you go

             A                       C#m
I've made an art of digging shallow holes

            B                         F#m
I drop the darkness in and watch it grow

              A                  C#m
My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul

             B                      F#m
Who knew the emptiness could be so cold 

               A                          C#m
I've lost the pieces that could make me whole

          B
I am the darkness, I'm a monster
[Chorus]
            A
You're the pulse in my veins

            F#m
You're the war that I wage

          C#m
Can you change me?

          B
Can you change me?

            A
You're the love that I hate

             F#m
You're the drug that I take

          C#m
Will you cage me?

          B
Will you cage me?

            A
You're the pulse in my veins

            F#m
You're the war that I wage

          C#m
Can you change me?

          B
Can you change me?

                      A      F#m
From the monster you made me?

                 C#m      B    
The monster you made me?

                 A       F#m
The monster you made me?

                 C#m      B     F#m
The monster you made me?
