Intro: Bb  C   Bb C Dm

Verse 1:
                 F
I look into your eyes and I
                   C
Think back to the son of mine
                 Dm     F       C       Bb
You're as old as he was when I left for war

Verse 2:
                   F
Will these actions haunt my days
      C
Every man I’ve slain?
       Dm7                 C
Is the price I pay endless pain?
           Bb                          C
Close your eyes and spare yourself the view
                 Dm7  Dm
How could I hurt you?

Pre-chorus:
           Bb                     C
I'm just a man who's trying to go home
           F                                 Bb
Even after all the years away from what I’ve known
           A#Maj7                      C
I'm just a man who's fighting for his life
                   F                                Dm
Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife
           A#Maj7
I'm just a man

Chorus:
    Bb                          C
But when does a comet become a meteor
                              Dm
When does a candlе become a blaze
                          Am  A
Whеn does a man become a monster?
Bb                          C
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
                                 Dm
When does the reason become the blame?
                           A
When does a man become a monster?


Dm                          A
When does a comet become a meteor
                              C
When does a candle become a blaze? Forgive me
                          G
When does a man become a monster? Forgive me
Bb                        A
When does a man become a monster? Forgive me


Bb         Dm
I'm just a man
