CAPO on 4th Fret
Am x02210
G 320033
F 133211 or x3321x
[Chorus]
Am G F
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Am G F
Get along with the voices inside of my head
Am G F
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
Am G F
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[Verse I]
Am G
I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
F
Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosy
Am G
Wanted to receive attention for my music
F
Wanted to be left alone in public. Excuse me
Am G
For wanting my cake and eat it too, and wanting it both ways
F
Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
Am G
When I blew; see, but it was confusing
F
'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Am G F
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (ooh!)
Hit the lottery, oh wee
Am G
With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
F
It was like winning a used me
Am G
Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
F
I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
Am G
Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
F
But I'm actually weirder than you think
'Cause I'm
[Chorus]
Am G F
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Am G F
Get along with the voices inside of my head
Am G F
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
Am G F
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Am G F - Am G F
Well, that's not fair
Am G F - Am G F
Well, that's not fair
[Verse II]
Am G
No, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told me
F
To seize the moment and don't squander it
Am
'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
G F
So I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
Am G
(Yeah, ponder it, do you want this?
F
It's no wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders)
Am
Yo-lo-lo-le-i-hoo! (LOL)
G F
I think you've been wandering off down yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff Van Vonderen
Am G
Cause I need an interventionist
F
To intervene between me and this monster
Am G
And save me from myself and all this conflict
F
'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me and I can't conquer it
Am G
My OCD is conking me in the head
F
Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
Am G
I'm just relaying what the voice in my head's saying
F
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[Chorus]
Am G F
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Am G F
Get along with the voices inside of my head
Am G F
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
Am G F
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Am G F - Am G F
Well, that's not fair
Am G F - Am G F
Well, that's not fair
[Verse III]
Am G
Call me crazy, but I had this vision
F
One day that I'd walk amongst you a regular civilian
Am G
But until then drums get killed and I'm coming straight at
F
MCs, blood get spilled and I
Am G
Take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track
F
Give every kid who got played that
Am
Pumped up feeling and shit to say back
G
To the kids who played 'em
F
I ain't here to save the fucking children
Am G
But if one kid out of a hundred million
F
Who are going through a struggle feels and then relates that's so great
Am G
It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
F Am
In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
G F
Straw into gold chump, I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Am G F
Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
(No Chords)
It's nothing, I'm still friends with the
