[Verse 1]
D                                     G
I killed my first monster when I was seven years old

     D                                  A
He melted like butter in my bathroom's sixty-watt bulb

         D                              G
Kept a three-cell MagLite from Daddy's workshop drawer

D                        G      A      D
Under my pillow and I'd pull it like a sword
[Chorus]
    G                    D        A            Bm
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night

 G             D               A              D
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light

            G       D          A                 Bm
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said

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

        D                        A
A minefield of bad decisions lay hidin' in the dark

  D                                      G
Greed stalks, sickness steals, and pride lays a wicked trap

     D                                 A            D
You can't avoid 'em all, no, you gotta trust me on that
[Chorus]
    G                    D        A            Bm
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night

 G             D               A              D
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light

            G       D          A                 Bm
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said

         G                   D                  G      A         Bm
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
[Solo] Hold Bm then faint strumming ~G-A-B-D [Interlude] Finger picking open chords with a bass run of G-F#-E. [Verse 3]
D                             G
Daddy, check my closet, leave on the bathroom light

   D                               A
I smile and say "All clear" when I tuck him in for the night

    D                               G
But Daddy, I'm still scared, can I sleep with you instead?

  D
I kneel down beside my little man and I bow my head
[Chorus]
    G                    D        A            Bm
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night

 G             D               A              D
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light

            G       D          A                 Bm
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said

         G                   D                  G      A         Bm
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed

G                      D             G    A         D      G      D
I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
