[Riff]

Here comes that awful feeling again

Welcome the ugly animal.

I hold my breath to what you sing,

My pyro b-ba-ba ball and chain,

I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

[A]I've got my telescope [G]head in the haystack

[A]I'm getting tired of your [G]dodgeball circus act

A G NC

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

[Riff]

Here comes that awful feeling again

Make way for monster jealousy

The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl

I'd spelled your name with Oatios,

he messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

[A]I've got my telescope [G]head in the haystack

[A]I'm getting tired of your [G]dodgeball circus act

A G NC

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

Bridge: | A | C | D | F | A | C | D | E |

| A | C | D | F | A | C | D | E |

[Riff]

If I were you I'd really run from me

I really really wish that I were you

I'd give this a crunchy

and drop a load on your head

This monster in me makes me wish you'd messed it, messed it up

[A]I've got my telescope [G]head in the haystack

[A]I'm getting tired of your [G]dodgeball circus act

[A]Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark

A G NC

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

Bridge: | A | C | D | F | A | C | D | E |

| A | C | D | F | A | C | D | E |

(you're mean, mean, mean

you tease, tease, tease me)

If I were you I'd really run from me

I'd really really wish that I were you

When I get loose I'll climb a tree

and drop a load on your head

This monster in me makes me retch, you messed it, messed it up

(you're mean, mean, mean

you tease, tease, tease me)

Do you smell jealousy?

Do you smell jealousy, jealousy, jealousy?

YOU

>From Bryan Killingsworth (akilling@pen.k12.va.us):

'You' off Monster is Dm, Gm for the verse and it holds Am

for awhile and goes to C for the chorus (I think)...with a Dm

riff during the verses (the notes are pretty much in the chord,

hammer-on on the 2nd fret of G string and open D string).

Let the sun beat through the clouds,

Let me kiss you on the mouth.

All my childhood toys with chew marks in from a smile.

Let me hold your syrup close to mine.

Let me watch you, Hollywood and Vine.

And I want you like the movies, touch me now.

I love you crazy, just keep on.

I love you madly, just keep watch.

You wipe my lips,

You turn me on.

My attentions are turned to you.

Did I dream you were a tourist

in the Arizona sun?

I can see you there with luna moths

and watermelon gum.

I woke up in the sleeping bag,

With nowhere else to run.

You're standing in the bathroom

telling me its all in fun.

I love you crazy, just keep on.

I love you madly, just keep watch.

You wipe my lips,

You turn me on.

My attentions are turned to you.

I can whisper in your ear.

I can write a calendar year

I can wing around your Saturn smile, shut out the moon

I walked the tension wire line.

And I learned to disrespect the signs.

And I want you like a Pisces rising, even though

I love you crazy, just keep on.

I love you madly, just keep watch.

You wipe my lips,

You turn me on.

My attentions are turned to you.

I think someone should have had the decency to tell me the luncheon

was free. To make someone run out with potato salad in his hand,

pretending like he's throwing up, is not what I call hospitality.

I'm looking for an interruption,
do you believe?
You looking, did my dreams
Be prepared for anything
You come into my little scene
Hooray hooray hip hip hooray
There's one thing I can guarantee:
You won't have to dig, dig too deep
[G]Said[Em] leave me to lay, but touch me deep,
[G]I d[Em]on't sleep, I dream
[G]I'l[Em]l settle for a cup of coffee, but[G] yo[Em]u know what I really need
[Riff]
Are you looking to drive my dreams?
You here to run my screens?
You come, deliver my demons
Hooray hooray hip hip hooray
Are you coming to ease my headache?
Do you give good head?
Am I good in bed?
[G]I [Em]don't know, I guess so
[G]I [Em]don't sleep, I dream
[G]I'l[Em]l settle for a cup of coffee, but[G] you[Em] know what I really need
[Riff]
I'm looking for an interruption,
can you believe?
Some medicine for my headache
Hooray hooray hip hip hooray
I'm pitching for a new direction
Pinch me when I wake
Don't tell me my dreams are fake
[G]you[Em] leave me to lay, you touch me deep,
[G]I [Em]don't sleep, I dream
[G]I'l[Em]l settle for a cup of coffee, but[G] yo[Em]u know what I really need
[G]Lea[Em]ve me to lay, but touch me deep,
[G]I d[Em]on't sleep, I dream

[Riff]
Here comes that awful feeling again
Welcome the ugly animal.
I hold my breath to what you sing,
My pyro b-ba-ba ball and chain,
I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up
[A]I've got my telescope [G]head in the haystack
[A]I'm getting tired of your [G]dodgeball circus act
A                        G                NC
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command
[Riff]
Here comes that awful feeling again
Make way for monster jealousy
The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl
I'd spelled your name with Oatios,
he messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up
[A]I've got my telescope [G]head in the haystack
[A]I'm getting tired of your [G]dodgeball circus act
A                        G                NC
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

[Riff]
If I were you I'd really run from me
I really really wish that I were you
I'd give this a crunchy
and drop a load on your head
This monster in me makes me wish you'd messed it, messed it up
[A]I've got my telescope [G]head in the haystack
[A]I'm getting tired of your [G]dodgeball circus act
[A]Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark
A                        G                NC
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command
Bridge:  | A | C | D | F | A | C | D | E |
         | A | C | D | F | A | C | D | E |
(you're mean, mean, mean
you tease, tease, tease me)
{Continue with the bridge progression until end.}
If I were you I'd really run from me
I'd really really wish that I were you
When I get loose I'll climb a tree
and drop a load on your head
This monster in me makes me retch, you messed it, messed it up
(you're mean, mean, mean
you tease, tease, tease me)
Do you smell jealousy?
Do you smell jealousy, jealousy, jealousy?
{End on riff.}

YOU
>From Bryan Killingsworth (akilling@pen.k12.va.us):
'You' off Monster is Dm, Gm for the verse and it holds Am
for awhile and goes to C for the chorus (I think)...with a Dm
riff during the verses (the notes are pretty much in the chord,
hammer-on on the 2nd fret of G string and open D string).
Let the sun beat through the clouds,
Let me kiss you on the mouth.
All my childhood toys with chew marks in from a smile.
Let me hold your syrup close to mine.
Let me watch you, Hollywood and Vine.
And I want you like the movies, touch me now.
I love you crazy, just keep on.
I love you madly, just keep watch.
You wipe my lips,
You turn me on.
My attentions are turned to you.
Did I dream you were a tourist
in the Arizona sun?
I can see you there with luna moths
and watermelon gum.
I woke up in the sleeping bag,
With nowhere else to run.
You're standing in the bathroom
telling me its all in fun.
I love you crazy, just keep on.
I love you madly, just keep watch.
You wipe my lips,
You turn me on.
My attentions are turned to you.
I can whisper in your ear.
I can write a calendar year
I can wing around your Saturn smile, shut out the moon
I walked the tension wire line.
And I learned to disrespect the signs.
And I want you like a Pisces rising, even though
I love you crazy, just keep on.
I love you madly, just keep watch.
You wipe my lips,
You turn me on.
My attentions are turned to you.

I think someone should have had the decency to tell me the luncheon
was free. To make someone run out with potato salad in his hand,
pretending like he's throwing up, is not what I call hospitality.
