F5          A5
In the playground
Ab5
children sing their songs and skin their knees
F5               A5      Eb5    
play, little monsters, play
F5         A5             Ab5
i remember doing just the same so many years ago
F5         A5      Eb5
and the things they'd say
F5           A5            Ab5
i could handle sticks and stones
F5         A5               Eb5
but those words still break my bones


Eb5                    G5
little monsters that rule the world
Eb5                       G5
you don't know what you're really saying
Eb5                    G5
stop before someone ends up getting hurt
Eb5                 G5
can't you see that we're only playing


F5         A5            Ab5
i remember i was just another monster without life
F5       A5       Eb5      
'til the day you came
F5          A5                Ab5
dirty creatures, tiny animals that crawl towards the light
F5       A5        Eb5
don't you ever change

F5          A5         Ab5
one day you will have to go
F5          A5       Eb5
you'll have to learn to live alone


Eb5                 G5
i can't hold your hand anymore
Eb5                 G5
i can't always kiss you better
Eb5                 G5
time to stand on your own two feet
Eb5                 G5
time to see just where they get you
Eb5                 G5
deep inside i'm still the same
Eb5                 G5
just one more little monster
Eb5                 G5
making out that she knows the rules
Eb5                 G5
a sincere impostor
