Chorus
                     C#m     B               A 
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed 

                   C#m    B            A 
Get along with the voices inside of my head 

                 C#m     B                 A 
You're tryin' to save me stop holding your breath 

                  C#m   B                  A 
And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy 


Verse
             C#m 
I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek 

        A 
Oh well guess beggars can't be choosey 

          C#m 
Wanted to receive attention for my music 

             A 
Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me 

               C#m 
For wantin' my cake and eat it too and wantin' it both ways 

     A 
Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated 

       C#m 
When I blew see but it was confusing 

                    A 
'cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf 

C#m                                 A 
Abused ink used it as a tool when I blew steam 


Hit the lottery oohwee 

    C#m 
But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet 

       A 
It was like winnin' a used mink 

                      C#m                          B 
Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink 

                 A 
I'm beginnin' to lose sleep one sheep two sheep 

             C#m 
Going coocoo and kooky as Kool Keith 

                                  A 
But I'm actually weirder than you think 'cause I'm 


Chorus
                     C#m            B        A 
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed 

                   C#m    B                 A 
Get along with the voices inside of my head  

                 C#m          B                   A 
You're tryin' to save me stop holdin' your breath  

                  C#m        B             A 
And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy 


Well that's nothin' 

            C#m 
Well that's nothin' 

B A C#m B A C#m B A C#m B 
                


Verse
A                       C#m 
 Now I ain't much of a poet 

                                              A 
But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment 


And don't squander it 

                              C#m 
'cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow 


So I keep conjurin' 

A 
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from 

C#m 
Yeah ponderin'll do you wonders 

                 A 
No wonder you're losing your mind the way it wanders 

                  C#m            C#m7                    A 
Yodelodelayheehoo    I think it went wanderin' off down yonder 


And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen 

C#m              B 
'cause I need an interventionist 

   A 
To intervene between me and this monster 

                 C#m 
And save me from myself and all this conflict 

                A 
'cause the very thing that I love's killing me 

                    C#m 
And I can't conquer it 

                                 A 
My OCD is conkin' me in the head keep knockin' 


Nobody's home I'm sleepwalkin' 

A                          B 
I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin' 


Chorus
      A 
Don't shoot the messenger I'm just friends with the 

    C#m                             B        A 
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed 

                   C#m    B         A 
Get along with the voices inside of my head 

                 C#m          B            A 
You're tryin' to save me stop holdin' your breath 

                  C#m        B             A 
And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy 


Well that's nothin' 

     C#m    B A C#m B A 
Well that's        nothin' 

C#m B A C#m B A 
          


Verse
        C#m                   C#m7 
Call me crazy but I have this vision 

             A 
One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian 

    C#m 
But until then drums get killed and 

                       A 
I'm comin' straight at MC's blood gets spilled and 

                         C#m 
I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track 

               A 
Give every kid who got played that pumpedup feelin' 

            C#m 
And shit to say back to the kids who played him 

        A 
I ain't here to save the fuckin' children 

               C#m              B 
But if one kid out of a hundred million 

                        A 
Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates that's great 

     C#m 
It's payback Russell Wilson 

                 A 
Falling way back in the draft 

                            C#m 
Turn nothin' into somethin' still can 

                                  A 
Make that straw into gold chump I will spin 

                              A 
Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack  

               B                    A 
Maybe I need a straight jacket face facts 


I am nuts for real but I'm okay with that 

A 
It's nothin' I'm still friends with the 


Chorus
    C#m                                      A 
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed 

                   C#m    B            A 
Get along with the voices inside of my head 

                 C#m     B                 A 
You're tryin' to save me stop holdin' your breath 

                  C#m   B                  A 
And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy 

    A7               C#7            B        A7 
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed 

A                  C#m    B            A
