Capo 2 Tone [G]
I'm friends with the [Bm]monster [A]that's under my [G]bed
Get along with the [Bm]voices [A]inside of my [G]head
You're tryin' to [Bm]save me, [A]stop holdin' your [G]breath
And you think I'm [Bm]crazy, [A]yeah, you think I'm [G]crazy
I wanted the [Bm]fame but not the cover [A]of Newsweek
Oh [G]well, guess beggars can't be choosey
Wanted to [Bm]receive attention [A]for my music
Wanted to be [G]left alone in public, excuse me
For wantin' my [Bm]cake, and eat it [A]too, and wantin' it both ways
Fame [G]made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
When I [Bm]blew, see, but it was [A]confusing
'Cause all I wanted to [G]do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[Bm]Abused ink, [A]used it as a tool when I [G]blew steam
But [Bm]with what I gave up [A]to get it was bittersweet
It was like [G]winnin' a used mink
Ironic 'cause I [Bm]think I'm gettin' so huge [A]I need a shrink
I'm beginnin' to [G]lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
Goin' coo-coo [Bm]and kooky as Kool [A]Keith
But I'm actually weirder than [G]you think, 'cause I'm—
I'm friends with the [Bm]monster [A]that's under my [G]bed
Get along with the [Bm]voices [A]inside of my [G]head
You're tryin' to [Bm]save me, [A]stop holdin' your [G]breath
And you think I'm [Bm]crazy, [A]yeah, you think I'm [G]crazy
Well, that's [Bm]nothin' [A] [G](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Bm](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, [A] [G]ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's [Bm]nothin' [A] [G](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Bm](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, [A] [G]ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Now, I ain't much of a [Bm]poet
But I know [A]somebody once told me to seize the [G]moment
And don't squander it 'cause you never know when it [Bm]all
Could be over [A]tomorrow, so I keep conjurin'
[G]Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[Bm]Yeah, ponderin'll [A]do you wonders
No wonder you're [G]losin' your mind, the way it wanders
[Bm]Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo! [A]I think it went wanderin' off down [G]yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff [Bm]VanVonderen
'Cause I need an [A]interventionist
To [G]intervene between me and this monster
And save me from [Bm]myself and [A]all this conflict
'Cause the very [G]thing that I love's killin' me and I can't conquer it
[Bm] My [A]OCD's conkin' me in the head, [G]keep knockin'
Nobody's home, I'm [Bm]sleepwalkin'
I'm just relayin' [A]what the voice in my head's sayin'
Don't [G]shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the—
I'm friends with the [Bm]monster [A]that's under my [G]bed
Get along with the [Bm]voices [A]inside of my [G]head
You're tryin' to [Bm]save me, [A]stop holdin' your [G]breath
And you think I'm [Bm]crazy, [A]yeah, you think I'm [G]crazy
Well, that's [Bm]nothin' [A] [G](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Bm](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, [A] [G]ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's [Bm]nothin' [A] [G](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Bm](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, [A] [G]ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Call me [Bm]crazy, but I have [A]this vision, one day that
[G]I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
But [Bm]until then, drums [A]get killed and
I'm comin' straight at [G]MC's, blood gets spilled and
I'll take you back to the [Bm]days that [A]I'd get on a Dre track
Give every [G]kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
And shit to [Bm]say back [A]to the kids who played him
I ain't [G]here to save the fuckin' children
But if one kid [Bm]out of a [A]hundred million
Who are goin' through a [G]struggle, feels it and relates, that's great!
It's [Bm]payback, [A]Russell Wilson fallin' way back
[G]In the draft, turn nothin' into somethin', [Bm]still can make that
[A]Straw into gold, chump, I [G]will spin—Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
[Bm] Maybe I need a [A]straightjacket
Face [G]facts: I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that!
[Bm] It's nothin', I'm still [A]friends with the—
I'm friends with the [Bm]monster [A]that's under my [G]bed
Get along with the [Bm]voices [A]inside of my [G]head

And you think I'm [Bm]crazy, [A]yeah, you think I'm [G]crazy
Well, that's [Bm]nothin' [A] [G](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
