I personally play

original key ;)

Intro: Em, A
Em (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
Someone's underneath my bed
The wind's knocking at my window
I'd kill it but it's already dead
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
Someone's underneath my bed
The wind's knocking at my window
I'd kill it but it's already dead
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
Someone's underneath my bed
The wind's knocking at my window
I'd kill it but it's already dead
Yeah, the living dead
Only thing that could bring it back alive, woman
Is some good, good head
