Capo 1
[Intro]
C Em
Hold me higher
G
Hold me high
C Em
Hold me higher
G
Hold me high
[Verse 1]
C
There are monsters in the dark
Em
I like to find them on my own and then
G G
We said, we said, last words over the phone
C Em
We rode the interstate, while she would
drive I’d narrate
G G
Singing our old songs from back home
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Come on, come on that’s it now
Em
Pick up we’re gonna hit the town
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
C
We’re not gonna stick around
Em
Better put on your dancing gown
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
C Em G
[Chorus]
G C Em G
There are monsters in the dark
G C
They’re not gonna keep us apart
Em G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
G C
I’ll search with all of my heart
Em G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
G C
There are monsters in the dark
[Verse 2]
Em
And a single step is all it takes
G G
Over oceans, all emotions, I feel trapped
under the weight
C Em
Can’t keep my head above water long enough
to say
G
That I love and miss you dearly more and
G
more after each day
C
(What’s in the dark?)
Em
And I start to feel like one of them
G G
I keep waking up beside her, every time a
different bed
C Em
Woken by strangers, no word from friends
G
Well maybe there’s some evil ones just
G
haven’t found them yet
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Come on, come on that’s it now
Em
Pick up we’re gonna hit the town
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
C
We’re not gonna stick around
Em
Better put on your dancing gown
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
G
Come on, come on (whoa)
C Em G
[Chorus]
G C Em G
There are monsters in the dark
G C
They’re not gonna keep us apart
Em G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
G C
I’ll search with all of my heart
Em G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
G C
They’re not gonna keep us apart
Em G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
G C
I’ll search with all of my heart
Em G
(Hold me higher, hold me high)
G N.C
There are monsters in the dark
