[CHORUS]
                      C#m
I’m friends with the monster
       B         A
That’s under my bed
                     C#m    B          A
Get along with the voices inside of my head
                  C#m
You’re trying to save me
       B             A
Stop holding your breath
                    C#m
And you think I’m crazy
  B                   A
Yeah, you think I’m crazy (crazy)

            C#m                         B
I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
   A
Oh well, guess beggers can’t be choosey
          C#m                       B
Wanted to receive attention for my music
              A
Wanted to be left alone, public excuse me
                 C#m
Been wanting my cake, I need it too
B
Wanting it both ways
      A
Fame may be a balloon cause my ego inflated
         C#m                   B
When I blew seep it was confusing
                       A
Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
C#m         B                         A
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
A
Hit the lottery (oh wee)
C#m                     B
With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
              A
It was like winning a huge meet
                  C#m                                B
Ironic ’cause I think I’m getting so big I need a shrink
                      A
I’m beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
       C#m                         B
Going cucko and cuckier as Kool Keith
                               A
But I’m actually weirder than you think
A
Cause I’m…

[CHORUS]
                      C#m
I’m friends with the monster
       B         A
That’s under my bed
                     C#m    B          A
Get along with the voices inside of my head
                  C#m
You’re trying to save me
       B             A
Stop holding your breath

And you think I’m crazy
  B                   A
Yeah, you think I’m crazy (crazy)
                  C#m B A C#m B A
Well, that’s not fair
                  C#m B A C#m B A
Well, that’s not fair

                        C#m
Now I ain’t much of a poet
                      B                       A
But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
A
And don’t squander it
                                    C#m
Cause you never know when it could all be over
            B
Tomorrow so I keep conjuring
A
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
C#m                       B
(Yeah, ponder it, do you wonder there’s no wonder
         A
You’re losing your mind the way you’re brought up?)
 C#m                B                       A
I think you’ve been wandering off down yonder
A
And stumbled upon Jeff VanVonderen
C#m                  B                      A
Cause I needed an intervention in this to intervene between me
A
And this monster
                 C#m                 B
And save me from myself and all this conflict
               A
Cause the very things that I love is killing me and I can’t conquer it
C#m             B
My OCD is clonking me in the head
A
Keep knocking, nobody’s home, I’m sleepwalking
C#m                         B
I’m just relaying what the voice of my head saying
        A
Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just friends with the…

[CHORUS]
                      C#m
I’m friends with the monster
       B         A
That’s under my bed
                     C#m    B          A

                  C#m B A C#m B A
Well, that’s not fair
                  C#m B A C#m B A
Well, that’s not fair

C#m                               B
Call me crazy, but I had this vision
                 A
One day that I’d walk amongst you regular civilians
     C#m                    B
But until then drums get killed I’m coming straight at
A
Emcees, blood get spilled and I
                     C#m                  B
Take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track
             A
Give every kid who got played gat
                                  C#m
Pumped the villian and sh*t that say back
        B
To the kids who played ’em
          A
I ain’t here to save the f*cking children
            C#m                     B
But if one kid out of a hundred million
                          A
Who are going through a struggle feels and relates that’s great
      C#m              B
It’s payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
      A                                      C#m
In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
 B                              A
Straw in the gold chump I will spend
                           C#m
Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack
C#m               B                     A
Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts
A
I am nuts for real, but I’m okay with that
A
It’s nothing, I’m still friends with a…
