[Intro]
---------------------
C#m B A
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
C#m B A
Get along with the voices inside of my head
C#m B A
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
C#m B A
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[Verse 1]
---------------------
C#m B
I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
A
Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
C#m B
Wanted to receive attention for my music
A
Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
C#m B
For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways
A
Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
C#m B
When I blew, see, but it was confusing
A
'Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
C#m B A
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (ooh)
Hit the lottery, oohwee
C#m B
But with what I gave up to get, it was bittersweet
A
It was like winnin' a used mink
C#m B
Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
A
I'm beginnin' to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
C#m B
Going coocoo and kooky as Kool Keith
A
But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm
[Chorus (1)]

And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's nothin'

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C#m B
Now, I ain't much of a poet But I know somebody once
A
told me to seize the moment
And don't squander it
C#m
'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
B
So I keep conjurin'
A
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
C#m B
Yeah, ponderin'll do you wonders
A
No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders
C#m
Yodelodelayheehoo
B A
I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
C#m B
'Cause I need an interventionist
A
To intervene between me and this monster
C#m B
And save me from myself and all this conflict
A
'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me
And I can't conquer it
C#m B A
My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
C#m
Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
B
I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
A
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[Chorus (2)]

[Verse 3]
---------------------
C#m B
Call me crazy, but I have this vision
A
One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
C#m B
But until then, drums get killed and
A
I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and
C#m B
I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
A
Give every kid who got played that pumpedup feelin'
C#m B
And shit to say back to the kids who played him
A
I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
C#m B
But if one kid out of a hundred million
A
Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates, that's great
C#m B
It's payback, Russell Wilson
A
Falling way back in the draft
C#m
Turn nothin' into somethin', still can
B A
Make that, straw into gold, chump, I will spin
Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
C#m B A
Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothin', I'm still friends with the
[Chorus (3)]
