Chorus(picking) 
             Em7                  Cadd9 
I see your monsters, I see your pain. 
              G                        Gsus2/F# 
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away. 
              Em7                      Cadd9 
I'll be your lighthouse. I'll make it okay. 
                 G                           Gsus2/F# 
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave, and chase them all away. 

Verse1 
Em7 
  A cup of coffee still steaming,  
Cadd9         
staring back at me and it's blacker than the night, eh. 
G 
  I'm awake but still sleeping, 
       Gsus2/F#  
I keep telling myself I'll be alright (I won't). 
Em7 
  And I know it can't get worse than today, 
Cadd9  
sitting here and she's trying to rehearse what to say. 
G 
  See, she's in the bathroom and hoping I'm not in earshot, 
Gsus2/F#  
while she's getting used to the sound of her teardrops. 
Em7 
Splash, it hits the dot and I know it's been  
 Cadd9 
awhile since you've seen me smile and laugh, like I used to. 
G 
I've been in denial since it happened,  
                    Gsus2/F#                                     Em7 
just take me to the past, cause I just can't imagine losing you, too. 

I can't explain this so I keep it all inside,  
Cadd9                        
     wear my pain but it's masked by my pride. 
G 
She came to hold me and she cried,  
                      Gsus2/F# 
told me this and she stared into my eyes and said.. 

Chorus 

             Em7                  Cadd9 
I see your monsters, I see your pain. 
              G                        Gsus2/F# 
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away. 
              Em7                      Cadd9 
I'll be your lighthouse. I'll make it okay. 
                 G                           Gsus2/F# 
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave, and chase them all away. 



Verse2 
Em7 
I can't, you won't like what you see. 
Cadd9 
If you were in my head and had to hear my plea. 
           G 
It's like, I can't believe this is happening to me. 
Gsus2/F# 
And could someone please shut this fuck answering machine,  
      Em7                                                Cadd9 
so I can stop leaving these messages that you will never get. 

And all these cries for help you'll never see, you'll never check. 
G 
  But I guess it's easy for you to leave me. 
    Gsus2/F# 
But believe me, see this isn't something that imma just forget. 
Em7 
  I would trade it all for one more minute,  
          Cadd9 
don't you see I really need you to talk to. 
   G 
Uh, I'm still sitting here wondering who did it,  
          Gsus2/F# 
while I'm staring out our front door knowing you'll never walk through. 
Em7                        Cadd9 
  Said you'd come right back, now you're gone like that. 
G                                                  Gsus2/F# 
  A blank stare as I stand so alone, I know you're never coming home. Damn.  

Chorus 

             Em7                  Cadd9 
I see your monsters, I see your pain. 
              G                        Gsus2/F# 
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away. 
              Em7                      Cadd9 
I'll be your lighthouse. I'll make it okay. 
                 G                           Gsus2/F#                   Cadd9 
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave, and chase them all away. 


Bridge 
                                      G 
Uh, I got a heart made of fools gold, got me feeling so cold. 
      Gsus2/F#      C                              
They keep chipping away. All the promises I told, 
G                  Gsus2/F#                  Cadd9 
felt like I was on those, they keep slipping away. 
                             Em7                           Gsus2/F# 
I want nobody else, but it's hard to get to know me when I don't know myself. 
       Am7                                                 
And it helps cause I felt i was down, I was out, then you looked at me now and said... 

Chorus 2x 
             Fm7                  Cadd9 
I see your monsters, I see your pain. 
              G                        Gsus2/F# 
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away. 
              Fm7                      Cadd9 
I'll be your lighthouse. I'll make it okay. 
                 G                           Gsus2/F# 
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave, and chase them all away.
