[Verse]
          Cm                             Eb                     
There's a monster under my bed and at my window there's a dragon
Ab                                           Cm    
I accepted the challenge it turned me into a savage
          Eb                Abmaj7
I broke a promise to myself again 
Ab      Abmaj7           Cm        
I don't know why I am so vulnerable
            Eb                        Ab
They try to help but I won't let them in
             Ab                            
I guess rock bottom's where I'm comfortable
Cm                             Eb                      
Both my feet planted when most people would've panicked
  Ab                                            Cm     
I embraced the storm I found beauty in what was damaged
        Eb            Ab       
I'm not afraid of the Boogieman
                                  Cm    
Instead I look at him like he's a friend
              Eb                       Ab   
There's not a monster out there in the world


[Chorus]
Abmaj7                             Cm    
That's scarier than the one that's within
Ab                       Bb    
There's a creature in my closet
               Cm             
I can hear him rumbling 'round
Ab                          Bb      
The demons screaming in the distance
                        Cm   
Creates such a humbling sound
            Ab                      
The monster that's outside my window
          Bb           Cm 
He's like family to me now
                Ab         Bb       
The things that people are afraid of
             Cm  
Never let me down


[Verse]
             Eb
Not a sadist no
              Ab
But I'm hated so
    Ab                                        
The religious freaks say I'm the biggest beast
         Ab               
And that I've made it grow
Cm                Eb  
When I spray this flow
  Eb          
I created more
Abmaj7                 Ab             
Creatures alike when I heat up the mic
      Abmaj7                             Cm    
I'm a breed of the night but I'm tainted though
       Eb                 
By the darkness I'm binded
  Ab                      
I sparked it and shined it
     Ab                         
They find it 'cause mine is whoa
Cm            Eb                     
For that they labeled me a demon seed
Ab                                 
Wanna disable Nninene see him bleed
                                      Cm  
Hinder me fatally and see them grieve nooh
              Eb                            
You would not believe the creature inside me
       Ab                        
If you deceive Kalifah's a lively
   Ab                          
We disagree when people defy me
   Cm            
Or tryna take his
                     Eb                                 
Whatever the fuckery told 'em you don't wanna break this
    Ab                  Abmaj7
You forsake his what is sacred
          Abmaj7                           
Then it's over no matter what your faith is


[Chorus]
      Cm      
I'm a creature
          Ab             Bb    
There's a creature in my closet
                        Cm    
I can hear him rumbling 'round
           Ab               Cm      
The demons screaming in the distance
Bb                      Cm   
Creates such a humbling sound
            Ab                      
The monster that's outside my window
          Bb           Cm 
He's like family to me now
                Ab         Bb       
The things that people are afraid of
             Cm  
Never let me down


[Verse]
                  Eb                                Ab  
Yeah I managed to get myself in trouble all of this pain
                                                      Ab   
Yeah I'm down and the doubledosing liquor's always to blame
Cm                                                Abmaj7
If I could keep myself sober I'd keep my hands to myself
         Ab                                     Cm     
I take a shot and it's over that's how I end up in Hell
               Eb                          
I hope I don't pass it down to my offspring
Ab                                  
They get everything from their daddy
                              Cm    
Feel like I'm addicted to all things
                          Eb    
Yeah there's no reason to change
                  Ab 
I've gone too far now
                Cm                      
I'm stuck in my ways back at the bar now
          Cm                        
They said I'm a flirt and they right
                Eb    
I ain't perfect a'ight


[Bridge]
Ab                             
So when I'm thirsty and perking
                                                        Cm
And purposely searching for something that's hurting me so
           Cm            
I just get back up and go
Eb                        
I just back out of it slow
              Ab
That's how it go
        Ab                
I knock the back out a hoe
Ab                             
And next night act I don't know
                Cm               
I think they be ■  laughing at me
Eb                     
Hands be grabbing at me
          Ab                     
Feel like God let it happen to me
Ab                 
That'd be blasphemy
Ab                       
These be that desperately
                 Cm  Eb   
I think I better let it go


[Chorus]
                 Ab    Abmaj7      
Either that or I gotta let her know
             Cm Ab  
That I can't do that
                         Bb    
There's a creature in my closet
                        Cm    
I can hear him rumbling 'round
    Ab                      Bb      
The demons screaming in the distance
                        Cm   
Creates such a humbling sound
            Ab                      
The monster that's outside my window
          Bb           Cm 
He's like family to me now
                Ab         Bb       
The things that people are afraid of
             Bb  
Never let me down
