I'm friends with [C#m] 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, [E] stop holding [A] your breath
And you think [C#m] I'm crazy, [B] yeah, you think [A] I'm crazy
I [C#m] wanted the fame but not the [B] cover of Newsweek
[A] Oh well, guess Beckett can't be choosy
[C#m] Wanted truancy, 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
Wanted it both [A] ways, fame made me a balloon
Cause my ego [C#m] inflated when I flew, see, it [B] was confusing
Cause [A] all I wanted to do was be the Bruce Lee of loose [C#m] leaf, abused ink
[B] Used it as a [A] tool when I blew steam
Hit the lottery, ooh [C#m] wee, but when what I [B] gave up to get
It was [A] bittersweet, it was like winning, I used me
I'm blind [C#m] cause I think I'm getting so [B] huge
I need a shrink, I'm beginning to lose [A] sleep
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]
[C#m] [B] [A]
Keep trying, [C#m] [B] [A]
you think [C#m] I'm crazy, [B] yeah, you think [A] I'm crazy
[C#m] [B] [A]
[C#m] [B] Thank you, [A]
[C#m] [B] [A]
thank you, [C#m] [B] [A]
thank you
No I ain't [C#m] much 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 when it all [F#] could be over [B] tomorrow
So I keep [A] pondering, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts [C#m] spawn from
I get [F#] pondered, I keep [B] pondered, still [A] wondering
If it wasn't for my underrated writing
I'm [C#m] not alive, [F#] I think we've [B] been wandering
[A] Now I've found Yonder and stumbled onto Jeff Van Baudren
Cause I [B] need an [A] interventionist to intervene between me and this [C#m] monster
And save me from myself and all this [B] conflict
[A] Cause the very thing that I love is killing me and I can't [C#m] conquer it
My [B] OCD's talking me [A] in the head, keep knocking
Nobody's home, I sleep talking
I'm just [B] relaying what the voice in my [A] head's saying
Don't seek the messenger, I'm just friends with [C#m] the monster
[B] [A]
[C#m] [B] [A]
[C#m] [B] Please y'all hold me [A] up
Cause you think [C#m] I'm crazy, [B] yeah, you think [A] I'm crazy
[C#m] [B] [A]
[C#m] [B] Thank you, [A] thank [C#m] [B] [A]
[C#m] [B] [A]
[C#m] you, thank you
Call me crazy but I [B] have this vision
One [A] day that I walk amongst you
Already [C#m] lost the feeling but until then
[B] I'm coming [A] straight at MC's blood gets filled
And I'm taking [C#m] back to the days that [B] I get on a Dre track
[A] Nigga every kid who got played had pumped up [C#m] feeling
And shit to say back [B] to the kids who played [A] him
I ain't here to save the fucking children
But if [C#m] one kid out of a [B] hundred million
Who are [A] going through a struggle feels it and relates that
[C#m] Great, it's payback
[B] Russell Wilson falling [A] way back in the draft
Turned nothing into [C#m] something, still can make [B] that
Straw in the gold, [A] jump I will spin
Pumple still skin in a [C#m] haystack
Maybe [B] I need a [A] straightjacket, face facts
I am nuts for real but I'm okay with that
It's nothing, I'm still friends with [C#m] the monster
[B] [A] [C#m]
[B] [A] You're trying [C#m] to [B] say stop holding [A] your breath
Then you think [C#m] I'm crazy, [B] yeah, you think [A] I'm crazy
[E] I'm friends with [C#] the monster [B] that's running [A] my bed
Get along with [C#m]
[B] voices inside of [A] my head
You're trying [C#m] to save [B] me, stop holding [A] your breath
Then you think [C#m] I'm crazy, [B] yeah, you think [C#m] I'm crazy
