              C 
 The beast in me
 F           G                 C 
 Is caged by frail and fragile bars
 F           G  
 Restless by day
        C               Bb           D7 
 And by night rants and rages at the stars
 F       G             C 
 God help the beast in me

              C
 The beast in me
 F          G                  C 
 Has had to learn to live with pain
 F          G                C
 And how to shelter from the rain
 F          G               C         Bb             D7
 And in the twinkling of an eye might have to be restrained
 F       G             C  
 God help the beast in me

 Sometimes it tries to kid me
           F                
 That it's just a teddy bear
                            C                
 And even somehow manage to vanish in the air
             G                 
 And that is when I must beware
                 C  F         G     C   
 Of the beast in me that everybody knows
 F                G                   C    
 They've seen him out dressed in my clothes
 Bb           D7 
 Patently unclear
         F       G       C  
 It it's New York or New Year
 F       G             C     F
 God help the beast in me    

 G            C 
 The beast in me
