The Monster Chords by Eminem

[Start]

[Chorus]
                     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 holding your breath
                  C#m        B             A    
And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy


[Verse]
             C#m                               
I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
        A                             
Oh well guess beggars can't be choosey
          C#m                           
Wanted to receive attention for my music
             A                             
Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me
               C#m                                         
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                          
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
        A             
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                    
Going coocoo and kooky as Kool Keith
B                             A                   
But I'm actually weirder than you think 'cause I'm


[Chorus]
                     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
     A             
Well that's nothin'
            C#m    
Well that's nothin'

                      C#m 
Now I ain't much of a poet


[Verse]
                                              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 all could be over tomorrow
          C#m      
So I keep conjurin'
A                                                 
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
C#m                            
Yeah ponderin'll do you wonders
          A                                         
No wonder you're losing your mind the way it wanders
C#m                                                  A     
Yodelodelayheehoo I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
    A                             
And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
C#m                             
'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
                    C#m
And I can't conquer it 
          B                      A            
My OCD is conkin' me in the head keep knockin'
                  A           
Nobody's home I'm sleepwalkin'
                           B                        
I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
A                                  C#m             
Don't shoot the messenger I'm just friends with the


[Chorus]
                             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]
             A                                       
One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
C#m                                
But until then drums get killed and
                       A                          
I'm comin' straight at MC's blood gets spilled and
                         C#m                             
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                                   
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
                     A       
Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
C#m            B                    A    
Maybe I need a straight jacket face facts
  A7                                 A   
I am nuts for real but I'm okay with that
     A                                 
It's nothin' I'm still friends with the


[Chorus]
    C#m                                   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
C#m                  C#7     B               A  
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
