(verse 1)
          Em           D                 Em          B7sus4
There's a monster that lives 'neath your bed, Oh for crying out loud
       Em           D              Em           B7sus4
it's a futon on the floor, He must be flat as a board
          Em            D                Em       B7sus4
There's a creature that lurks behind the door
            Em               D             Em            B7sus4

(intro)
Though I've checked there 15 times, When I leave then he arrives Every night

(verse 2)
Tell the monster that lives 'neath your bed
To go somewhere else instead, Or you'll kick him in the head
Tell the creature that lurks behind the door
If he knows what's good he won't come here anymore
             Em                      B7sus4        D
Cause you'll kick in his butt at the count of four

(chorus)
G               D           C     D
Goodnight demon slayer, goodnight
G       D       C                D
Now its time to close your tired eyes
          G                  D                  C                         D
There are devils to slay and dragons to ride If they see you coming, hell they better hide
G              D          C     D
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
G                   D          C      D    Intro
Goodnight my little slayer goodnight

(verse 3)
Tell the monster that eats children, that you taste bad
And you're sure you'd be the worst that he's ever had
If he eats you, don't fret, just cut him open with an axe
Don't regret it, he deserved it, he's a cad

(verse 4)
Tell the harpies that land on your bed post
That at the count of five you'll roast them alive
Tell the devil its time you gave him his due
He should go back to hell, he should shake in his shoes
          C                    D
Cause the mightiest, scariest, creature is you

(chorus)

(verse 5)
I won't tell you, there's nothing 'neath your bed
I won't tell you, that it's all in your head
This world of ours is not as it seems
The monsters are real but not in your dreams
Learn what you can from the beasts you defeat,
       C                       D
you'll need it for some of the people you meet

(chorus)

(outro)
G              D          C      D
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    G     D    C    D    end on Em
Goodnight
