[Intro]
Bm A G
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Bm A G
Get along with the voices inside of my head
Bm A G
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
Bm A G
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[Verse 1]
Bm A
I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
G
Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
Bm A
Wanted to receive attention for my music
G
Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
Bm A
For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways
G
Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
Bm A
When I blew, see, but it was confusing
G
'Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Bm A G
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
Whoo! Hit the lottery, ooh-wee
Bm A
But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet
G
It was like winnin' a used mink
Bm A
Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
G
I'm beginnin' to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
Bm A
Goin' coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
G
But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm—
[Chorus]
Bm A G
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Bm A G
Get along with the voices inside of my head
Bm A G
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
Bm A G
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Bm A G
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm A G
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm A G
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm A G
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
Bm
Now, I ain't much of a poet
A G
But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
Bm
And don't squander it 'cause you never know when it all
A
Could be over tomorrow, so I keep conjurin'
G
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
Bm A
Yeah, ponderin'll do you wonders
G
No wonder you're losin' your mind, the way it wanders
Bm A G
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo! I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
Bm
And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
A
'Cause I need an interventionist
G
To intervene between me and this monster
Bm A
And save me from myself and all this conflict
G
'Cause the very thing that I love's killin' me and I can't conquer it
Bm A G
My OCD's conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
Bm
Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
A
I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
G
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the—
[Chorus]
Bm A G
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Bm A G
Get along with the voices inside of my head
Bm A G
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
Bm A G
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Bm A G
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm A G
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm A G
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm A G
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 3]
Bm A
Call me crazy, but I have this vision, one day that
G
I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
Bm A
But until then, drums get killed and
G
I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and
Bm A
I'll take you back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
G
Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
Bm A
And shit to say back to the kids who played him
G
I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
Bm A
But if one kid out of a hundred million
G
Who are goin' through a struggle, feels it and relates, that's great!
Bm A
It's payback, Russell Wilson fallin' way back
G Bm
In the draft, turn nothin' into somethin', still can make that
A G
Straw into gold, chump, I will spin—Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Bm A
Maybe I need a straightjacket
G
Face facts: I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that!
Bm A
It's nothin', I'm still friends with the—
[Chorus]
Bm A G
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Bm A G
Get along with the voices inside of my head
Bm A G
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
Bm A G
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[Bridge]
Bm A G
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Bm A G
Get along with the voices inside of my head
Bm A G
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
Bm A G
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[Outro]
Bm A G
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm A G
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm A G
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm A G
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
