Nobody knows but me

[Chorus]
    F                              C
Oh, momma thinks I'm talking to myself again
  F                             C
I know she thinks I'm out of my mind
    F                         C
But I'm really talking to my secret friend

Oh, I always go to sleep when my Daddy says
  F                           C
I kiss him and turn out the light
    F                            C
But my friend is sitting on the edge of the bed
D                  G F/G G
Talks to me every night

[Bridge]
N.C.
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b but
F                          C
Everybody says it's just a stage I'm in
     F                         C
And everybody says I'm just a kid
     F                             C
But they've never traveled to the places I've been
    D                             Em/G                Dm/G
Or done the crazy things that my friend and I d-d-d-d did
N.C.
Whomp bop a loo bop ba lom bam boom

Nobody knows but me, hee, hee
C                     F      C

Nobody hears,

Nobody sees,

But nobody can
N.C.
Nobody knows but me!
