[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)
