( A ) ( Em ) ( A )
I got a monster in my closet
Em
( A ) ( Em ) ( A )
Someone's underneath my bed
Em
( A ) ( Em ) ( A )
The wind's knocking at my window
Em
( A ) ( Em ) ( A )
I'd kill it but it's already dead
( G ) ( Bb )
It waits till the midnight hour to come
( G ) ( Bb )
To torture me for the wrong I've done
Em
( A ) ( Em ) ( A )
It just sits there and stares at me
Em
( A ) ( Em ) ( A )
And it won't let me get any sleep
I got a monster in my closet
[Refrão]
Someone's underneath my bed
The wind's knocking at my window
I'd kill it but it's already dead
[Próxima Parte]
At first I was scared when I looked at his eyes
But now that I know him I'm not that surprised
I'm just waiting on the sun to rise
Oh, how I wish that old sun would rise
I got a monster in my closet
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
I used to wonder why he looked familiar
Then I realized it was a mirror
And now it is plain to see
The whole time the monster was me
Oh, there's a monster in my closet
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Yeah, the living dead
Only thing that could bring it back alive, woman
Is some good, good head
