1. The beast in me       is caged by frail and fragile bars,
F       G                 C           Bb                 D7 
    restless by day, and by night rants and rages at the stars.
      F       - G              C 
    God help       the beast in me.
 
         C  - F                    G             C
2. The beast in me      has had to learn to live with pain,
F        G             C       - F 
    and how to shelter from the rain,
         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 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 of …

3. The beast in me       that everybody knows,
F                      G             C          Bb          D7 
    they've seen him out dressed in my clothes, patently unclear,
        F              C  
    if it's New York or New Year.
F     G               C   - F - G  - - - - - - --   C  
   God help the beast in me,         the beast in me.
