Capo 4

C                      Am 
There's a monster at the bottom, 
F                         G 
I guess for now he's well fed. 
C                         Am 
oh we ain't seen him in a while, 
                          F 
Guess he does most of his work 
                         G           C C/B Am F C G 
While the rest of us are safe in our beds. 


C                            Am 
He's summered in the deepest oceans, 
F                        G 
He's wintered on a sandy beach. 
C                               Am 
They all once tried to keep him grounded, 
                    F 
So he prayed like a god  
         G               C C/B Am F C G 
From the world's highest peak. 


F                  G 
You can always find quiet 
C            C/B              Am 
But you can't really ever find peace, 
F                       G                                Am 
If you can't filter the breath between the lies that you speak. 
F                   G 
Hear the back of the beetle 
C     C/B           Am 
As he breaks at your feet, 
F                G 
Are you as sorry now as the tide 
         Am       G               F 
When she came and washed out your streets, 
G                   C C/B Am F C G 
She washed them out clean. 


C                               Am 
There was a ghost there in that red house, 
F                       G 
He never burned out any lights, 
C  
He never slammed a door 
Am                                  F 
Or crossed a creaky board among the floor, 
                   G       C     C/B Am F C G 
He just wanted for once to sleep at night. 


C                        Am 
One day he had to up and leave there, 
F                              G 
He couldn't take the drawn out fights. 
C                        Am 
He even caught the nasty thoughts never spoken, 
       F             
But so spiritless and mean, 
         G                  C C/B Am F C E9 
How they echoed among their lives. 


Am                             G 
So, if you see those so called demons, 
F                          C E9 
Don't bother saying I said hi. 
Am                              G 
I think they both know where to find me, 
             F                   C       E9 
I think I've stared at them both dead in their eyes. 
Am                          G 
I may just see them in some time now, 
F                              C   E9 
Our crooked paths could easily cross, 
Am                     G 
Or wind forever in a lonelier direction 
              F                    
Because there ain't a lot of fight 
Fm                         C C/B Am F C G 
left in damaged souls like us. 


F                       G 
See, you can always find quiet 
C            C/B               Am  
But you can't really ever find peace, 
F                       G                               Am    
If you can't filter the breath between the lies that you speak. 
F                    G 
Hear the back of the beetle 
C     C/B           Am 
As he breaks at your feet, 
F                G 
Are you as sorry now as the tide 
         Am       G               F 
When she came and washed out your streets, 
G               C 
Washed them out clean.
