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


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


F         Am            G#
i remember i was just another monster without life
F       Am       Eb      
'til the day you came
F          Am                G#
dirty creatures, tiny animals that crawl towards the light
F       Am        Eb
don't you ever change

F          Am         G#
one day you will have to go
F          Am       Eb
you'll have to learn to live alone


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