Monsters

E                                 
I killed my first monster when I 
    C#m
was seven years old
     E                     
He melted like butter in my 
             B
bathroom's sixty-watt bulb
         E                    
Kept a three-cell MagLite from 
          C#m
Daddy's workshop drawer
E                        B
Under my pillow and I'd pull it like
 a sword


[Chorus]
    A                    E    
Anymore when a restless feelin' 
    B            C#m
keeps me up at night
 A             E            
Fallin' on my knees is my new 
   B              E
turnin' on the light
            A       E          B 
I keep my faith intact, make sure
                C#m
 my prayers are said
         A                  
'Cause I've learned that the 
 E                  A       B    
monsters ain't the ones beneath 
     E     A
the bed

    E                              
The wolf hunts a hungry man and the
  A
 devil a  lonely heart
        E                       
A minefield of bad decisions lay 
  B
hidin' in the dark
  E                                
Greed stalks, sickness steals, and 
      A
pride lays a wicked trap
     E                          
You can't avoid 'em all, no, you 
       B            E
gotta trust me on that

[Chorus]
    A                    E    
Anymore when a restless feelin' 
    B            C#m
keeps me up at night
 A             E            
Fallin' on my knees is my new 
   B              E
turnin' on the light
            A       E          B 
I keep my faith intact, make sure
                C#m
 my prayers are said
         A                  
'Cause I've learned that the 
 E                         B      
monsters ain't the ones beneath 
   C#m
the bed
A                      E         
I've learned that the monsters 
       B            E
ain't underneath the bed

[Verse 3]
E                             A
Daddy, check my closet, leave on the
 bathroom light
   E                               
I smile and say "All clear" when I 
B
tuck him in for the night
    E                              
But Daddy, I'm still scared, can I 
 A
sleep with you instead?
  E                              
I kneel down beside my little man 
  A
and I bow my head

[Chorus]
    A                    E    
Anymore when a restless feelin' 
    B            C#m
keeps me up at night
 A             E            
Fallin' on my knees is my new 
   B              E
turnin' on the light
            A       E          B 
I keep my faith intact, make sure
                C#m
 my prayers are said
         A                  
'Cause I've learned that the 
 E                         B      
monsters ain't the ones beneath 
   C#m
the bed
A                      E         
I've learned that the monsters 
       B            E
ain't underneath the bed
