Monsters Chords

(ver. 2)
Eric Church
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

[Verse 3]
 F#                            B
 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

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