[Intro] A E A D A E
A E A
How can I think I'm standing strong,
D A
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
F#m E D
How can happiness feel so wrong?
C#m E A E
How can misery feel so sweet?
A E A
How can you let me watch you sleep,
D A
Then break my dreams the way you do?
F#m E D
How can I have got in so deep?
C#m E A E
Why did I fall in love with you?
Chorus:
A F#m
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Bm E
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
A F#m
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
Bm D
I was never crazy on my own.
A F#m D F
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
A F#m E A E A D F A
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
A E A
How can you make me fall apart
D A
Then break my fall with loving lies?
F#m E D
It's so easy to break a heart;
C#m D A E
It's so easy to close your eyes.
A E A
How can you treat me like a child
D A
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
F#m E D
How can anyone feel so wild?
C#m E A E
How can anyone feel so blue?
Chorus:
A F#m
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been

Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
A F#m
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
Bm D
I was never crazy on my own.
A F#m D F
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
A F#m E A F#m D
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
E A F#m D
...and being close to you

and being close to you.
