[C#m] I'm friends with the monster [B] that's under [A] my bed
Get along with [C#m] the voices [B] inside of [A] my head
You're trying [C#m] to save me, [B] stop holding [A] your breath
And you think [C#m] I'm crazy, [B] yeah, you think [A] I'm crazy, crazy
I [C#m] wanted the fame but not the [B] cover of Newsweek
[A] Oh well, guess Vegas can't be too easy
[C#m] Wanted to receive attention [B] for my music
[A] Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
[C#m] Wanted my cake and eat it [B] too
And wouldn't it both [A] ways, fame made me a balloon
Cause my ego [C#m] inflated when I blew seep
It [B] was confusing, cause [A] all I wanted to do was be
[C#m] The Bruce Lee of loose leaf, of used ink
[B] Use it as a tool [A] when I blew stink
Hit the lottery, ooh, [C#m] he quit
What I gave [B] up to get was bittersweet
[A] It was like winning, I used me
I'm fine [C#m] cause I think I'm getting so [B] huge
I need a shrink, I'm [A] beginning to lose sleep
One sheep, two sheep, [C#m] going cuckoo
And kooky is [B] cool, key
But I'm actually [A] weirder than you think
Cause I'm friends with [C#m] the monster [B] [A] [C#m]
[B] [A] [C#m]
[B] that's under [A] my bed
When you think [C#m] I'm crazy, [B] yeah, you think [A] I'm crazy
Well, [F#] I'm not
[C#m]
[B] [A] [C#m]
[B] [A] Well, I'm not
[C#m]
[B] [A] [C#m] Well, I'm [B] [A] not
No, I ain't much [C#m] of a poet
But I know [B] somebody once told me to [A] seize the moment
And don't squander it
Cause you never know [C#m] when it all [F#] could be over
[B] The more so I keep [A] pondering
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts [C#m] wander
Yeah, I ponder, [B] but I do it one
Cause the [A] one thing that goes through your mind
The way it wanders
[C#m] I [B] think it would wander in the [A] off town yarn
That was doubled on to Jeff and [C#m] Udrin
Cause I need [B] an interventionist [A] to intervene
Between me and this monster
And save me from myself and [B] all this conflict
Cause [A] the very thing that I love
Killing me and I can't [C#m] conquer it
My [B] OCD's parking me in [A] the head
Keep knocking, nobody's home
Cause I'm [C#m] sleepwalking
I'm just [B] relaying with the voice in my head
[A] So I don't shoot the messenger
I'm just fencing
I'm friends with [C#m] the monster [B] [A] [C#m]
[B] that's inside of me
[A] Keeps trying [C#m] to save me
[B] Stop holding me [A] over
You think [C#m] I'm crazy
[B] Yeah, you think [A] I'm crazy [F#] Well, I
[C#m]
[B] [A] [C#m] Well,
[B] [A] I
[C#m]
[B] [A] Well, I
[C#m]
[B] [A] Call [C#m] me crazy, but I [B] have this vision
One [A] day that I walk amongst you
A regular subdued [C#m] heart
Until then, [B] tongues get killed
And I'm coming [A] straight at MC's blood
That's filled with love
Take it [C#m] back to the days that
[B] I'd get on a Dre track
Leave [A] every kid who got played at
Pumped up feeling [C#m] and shit to say back
[B] To the kids who played [A] him
I ain't here to save the fucking children
But it's one [C#m] kid out of a [B] hundred million
Who are [A] going through a struggle
Feels it and relates that
[C#m] Wait, it's payback
[B] Buster Wilson falling [A] way back in the draft
Turn nothing into [C#m] something
Still can make [B] that straw in the gold
[A] Trump, I will spin
Pumpo's still scanning the [C#m] A-Stack
Maybe [B] I need a straight jacket
[A] Face facts, I am nuts for real
But I'm okay with that
It's nothing, I'm still friends with the [C#m] monster
