[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
[Kembali ke Chorus]
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
[Ulangi Chorus]
A E B E
I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
