Capo 2 fret

[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)
