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.
