[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

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

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