Chords

[Verse 1]
E                                     C#m
I killed my first monster when I was seven years old

     E                                  B
He melted like butter in my bathroom's sixty-watt bulb

         E                              C#m
Kept a three-cell MagLite from Daddy's workshop drawer

E                        B
Under my pillow and I'd pull it like a sword
[Chorus]
    A                    E        B            C#m
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night

 A             E               B              E
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light

            A       E          B                 C#m
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said

         A                   E                  A       B         E     A
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
[Verse 2]
    E                                A
The wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a  lonely heart

        E                         B
A minefield of bad decisions lay hidin' in the dark

  E                                      A
Greed stalks, sickness steals, and pride lays a wicked trap

     E                                 B            E
You can't avoid 'em all, no, you gotta trust me on that
[Chorus]
    A                    E        B            C#m
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night

 A             E               B              E
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light

            A       E          B                 C#m
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said

         A                   E                         B         C#m
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed

A                      E                B            E
I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
[Verse 3]
E                             A
Daddy, check my closet, leave on the bathroom light

   E                               B
I smile and say "All clear" when I tuck him in for the night

    E                               A
But Daddy, I'm still scared, can I sleep with you instead?

  E                                A
I kneel down beside my little man and I bow my head
[Chorus]
    A                    E        B            C#m
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night

 A             E               B              E
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light

            A       E          B                 C#m
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said

         A                   E                         B         C#m
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed

A                      E                B            E
I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
