[Verse 1]
F#I killed my first monster when I was D#mseven years old
He F#melted like butter in my bathroom's C#sixty-watt bulb
Kept a F#three-cell MagLite from Daddy's D#mworkshop drawer
F#Under my pillow and I'd C#pull it like a F#sword
[Chorus]
AnyBmore when a restless F#feelin' C#keeps me up at D#mnight
BFallin' on my F#knees is my new C#turnin' on the F#light
I keep my Bfaith inF#tact, make C#sure my prayers are D#msaid
'Cause BI've learned that the F#monsters ain't the C#ones beneath the F#bed
F# B
[Verse 2]
The F#wolf hunts a hungry man and the Bdevil a lonely heart
A minefF#ield of bad decisions lay C#hidin' in the dark
F#Greed stalks, sickness steals, and pride Blays a wicked trap
You cF#an't avoid 'em all, no, you gotta tC#rust me on tF#hat
[Chorus]
AnymBore when a restless fF#eelin' kC#eeps me up at nD#might
BFallin' on my F#knees is my new C#turnin' on the F#light
I keep my Bfaith inF#tact, make C#sure my prayers are D#msaid
'Cause BI've learned that the F#monsters ain't the C#ones beneath the F#bed

F#Daddy, check my closet, leave Bon the bathroom light

But F#Daddy, I'm still scared, can I sleep with Byou instead?
I kneel F#down beside my little man and C#I bow my F#head
[Chorus]

'Cause BI've learned that the F#monsters ain't the C#ones beneath the F#bed
BI've learned that the F#monsters ain't C#underbeneath the F#bed
