Monsters Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I killed my first monster when
I [G]was seven years old
He [D]melted like butter in my [A]bath
room's sixty-watt bulb
Kept [D]a three-cell MagLite from Daddy's
[G]work[Bm]shop [G]drawer
[D]Under my pillow and I'd
[A]pull it like [D]a sword
[G]Anymore

[Verse 2]
when a rest[D]less feelin'
[A]keeps me up [Bm]at night
[G]Fallin' on [D]my knees is my new
[A]turnin' on the [G]light
I keep my faith in[D]tact,
make [A]sure my prayers [Bm]are said
'Cause [G]I've learned that [D]the monsters
ain't the [G]ones [A]beneath the bed
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
The [D]wolf hunts a hungry man and
the [G]devil a lonely heart
A mine[D]field of bad decisions
lay hidin' [A]in the dark
[D]Greed stalks, sickness steals,
and pride [G]lays a wicked trap
[D]You can't avoid 'em all, no,
you gotta trust me on that

[Verse 4]
Any[G]more when a rest[D]less feelin'
[A]keeps me up [Bm]at night
[G]Fallin' on [D]my knees is my new
[A]turnin' on the [G]light
I keep my faith in[D]tact,
make [A]sure my prayers [Bm]are said
'Cause [G]I've learned that the mon[D]sters ain't [G]the ones beneath
[A]the bed

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][A][Bm][A][Bm][A][Bm]
[A][G][D]
[Em]

[Verse 5]
[D]Daddy, check my closet,
leave [G]on the bathroom light
[D]I smile and say "All clear" when
I tuck him [A]in for the night
But [D]Daddy, I'm still scared,
can I [G]sleep with you instead?
I kneel [D]down beside my little man
and [A]I bow m[D]y head

[Verse 6]
Any[G]more when a restless [D]feelin'
[A]keeps me up [Bm]at night
[G]Fallin' on [D]my knees [G]is[D]
my new [A]turnin' on the [G]light
I keep my faith in[D]tact,
make sure my prayers [Bm]are said
'Cause [G]I've learned that [D]the monsters ain't
the ones [G]beneath [A]the bed
[Bm]I've learned that the monsters
ain't underneath the bed
[G]I've learned that [D]the monsters
ain't under[G]neath [A]the bed

[Outro 1]
[D]
