Chords for Eminem ft. Rihanna - The Monster Lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ I'm friends with [C#m] the monster [B] that's under [A] my bed
Get along with [C#m] the voices [B] inside [A] of my head
You're trying [C#m] to save [E] me, stop holding [A] your breath
And you think [C#m] I'm crazy, [B] yeah, you think [A] I'm crazy Crazy
[C#m] I wanted the fame but not [B] the cover of Newsweek
[A] Oh well, guess Vegas can't be choosy
[C#m] Wanted to receive a [B] toasting for my music
[A] Wanted to be left alone with public accusement
[C#m] Wanted my cake and eat it [B] too
Wanted to poke [A] face, fame made me a balloon
Cause my ego [C#m] inflated when I flew, see if it was [B] confusing
Cause [A] all I wanted to do was be the Bruce Lee of [C#m] loose leaf, of fused ink
[B] Used it as a [A] tool when I blew steam
Hit the lottery, ooh, [C#m] wee, but with what I [B] gave up to get
It was [A] bittersweet, it was like winning, I used me
I'm lying [C#m] cause I think I'm getting so [B] huge, I need a shrink
I'm [E] beginning to lose sleep
[A] One sheep, two sheep, [C#m] cooing, coo, cooing, kooky is [B] kooky
But I'm actually [A] weirder than you think
Cause I'm friends with [C#m] the monster
[B] _ _ [A] _ Get along with [C#m] the voices _ [B] inside of my [A] _ head
You're trying [C#m] to take [B] me, stop holding [A] up, oh yeah
And you think [C#m] I'm crazy, [B] yeah, you think [A] I'm crazy
Well, that's not [C#m] fair
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ Shush, [C#m] shush, [B] shush, [A] shush, _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ shush, [C#m] shush, [B] shush, [A] shush
_ No, I ain't [C#m] much of a poet, but I know [B] somebody once told me
To [C#m] seize the moment and don't [A] squander it
Cause you never [C#m] know when it all [F#] could be over
The monster, [G#m] I keep [A] pondering
Sometimes I wonder if these thoughts [C#m] want them
Yeah, [B] ponder the truth, one, just the [F#m] one
If you're losing your mind, the brave [A] one
[C#m] Yeah, well, I think it [B] was one
Even [A] though I found yonder and stumbled onto Japan
I drink, cause I [B] need an intervention
If [A] they intervene between me and this monster
And [C#m] save me from myself and [B] all this conflict
[A] Cause of everything that I love killing me and I can't [C#m] conquer it
My [F#m] OCD's talking me in the head
Keep knocking, nobody's home, no sleep talking
I'm just [B] relaying what the voice in my [A] head's saying
No sleep to messenger, I'm just friends with [C#m] the monster
[B] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ You're trying [C#m] to take [B] me, stop holding [A] up, oh yeah
If you think [C#m] it's crazy, [B] yeah, you think [A] I'm crazy
Well, [F#] that's [C#m] nothing
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] Well, that's [C#m] nothing
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ [B] Call [A] _ _ _
[C#m] me crazy, but I [B] have this vision, one [A] day back
I'll walk amongst you, a regular, just a little [C#m] part
Until then, [B] drunk in children, I'm coming [A] straight at
And seize punch and fill it up
Take it [C#m] back to the days that [B] I'd get on the Dre track
Give [A] every kid who got plagued that
Bumped up [C#m] feelin' and shit that stayed back
[F#] To the [B] kids [A] playin', I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
But if [C#m] one kid out of a [B] hundred million
Who are [A] goin' through a struggle feels it and relates, that's [C#m] great
It's payback, [B] Russell Wilson fallin' way [A] back in the draft
Turn nothin' into [C#m] somethin', still can make [B] that
Straw in the gold, [A] some fine whelpin'
Bumple still skinnin' a [C#m] haystack
Maybe [B] I need a straightjacket, [A] face facts
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothin', I'm still [C#m] friends with the monster
[G#m] The son of [A] my bed
Get along with the [C#m] voices [B] inside of [A] my head
You tryin' [C#m] to save me, [B] stop holdin' [A] your breath
And you think [C#m] I'm crazy, [B] yeah, you think I'm [A] crazy
[E] I'm friends with [C#] the monster, [B] the son of [A] my bed
Get along with the [C#] voices [B] inside of [A] my head
You tryin' [C#m] to save me, [B] stop holdin' [A] your breath
And you think I'm _ [C#m] crazy, [B] yeah, [F#m] you think I'm crazy
Well, [C#m] that's nothin'
_ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _
