Eric Church – Monsters (Guitar)

F#                                   D#m
I killed my first monster when I was seven years old

   F#                                  C#
He melted like butter in my bathroom's sixty-watt bulb

       F#                              D#m
Kept a three-cell MagLite from Daddy's workshop drawer

F#                      C#             F#
Under my pillow and I'd pull it like a sword

     B                    F#      C#             D#m
  Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night

   B             F#              C#             F#
   Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light

            B       F#         C#                  D#m
  I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said

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

    F#                              B
The wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a lonely heart

       F#                        C#
A minefield of bad decisions lay hidin' in the dark

F#                                       B
Greed stalks, sickness steals, and pride lays a wicked trap

     F#                                 C#          F#
You can't avoid 'em all, no, you gotta trust me on that

    B                    F#      C#             D#m
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night

B             F#              C#             F#
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light

          B       F#         C#                  D#m
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said

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

 Daddy, check my closet, leave on the bathroom light

       F#                                         C#
     I smile and say, "All clear" when I tuck him in for the night

    F#                                        B
But Daddy, I'm still scared, can I sleep with you instead?

        F#                            C#       F#
I kneel down beside my little man and I bow my head

     B                   F#      C#             D#m
 Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night

 B             F#              C#             F#
 Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light

          B       F#         C#                  D#m
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said

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

B                     F#             C#               F#
I've learned that the monsters ain't underbeneath the bed
